Fall is in the air and we can't believe it is November already!  First grade is working on listening for facts from books and video clips from Discovery Education.  Finding facts in information is the first step in learning about research. Second grade has been working on insects and they are becoming experts in finding facts about our little friends. Next, we will be learning about soils. Third grade will be learning about Rocks and Minerals.  Fourth graders are starting to learn about Electricity.  Fifth grade will be researching explorers, artists, and scientists from the Renaissance period. Speaking of fifth grade, if you have a fifth grader who would like to participate in Battle of the Books, please remind them (try not to nag like I do at home) to keep reading those Battle books!!!  We will start practicing and form teams in January. All grades practice keyboarding when we have time.  Remember your children can practice keyboarding and other skills with the links below.  Happy November!!!
