Literary Essays
The students are familiar with writing
about lessons learned from people they
know or interact with, and now they are
going to work on writing about what they
have learned from characters in books.
After close study of books and stories
read in class, the children will use various
approaches to writing about texts by
observing what is happening in the story
and pushing their thinking to higher
thoughts about what they notice. They
will give special attention to characters
traits, motivations, struggles, changes,
and lessons learned. Ultimately, each
student will select an idea that can be
brought forth in a literary essay that
discusses what a text is really about or
how a character changes or learns a
lesson.
Mathematics
Pro-Solve
Our class is participating in Pro-Solve,
a county-wide mathematics problemsolving competition. Five times during the
next five months, the students will work
to solve six problems that reinforce math
standards, applied mathematics, and
problem-solving strategies. I score the
problem sheet by starring the problems
that were correctly answered and circling
those that are incorrect, and then we go
over the correct solutions and the various
ways to solve the problems in class. The
children will bring home their scored
problem sheets to keep. At the end of
the school year, all students will receive a
certificate of participation, high-scoring
students will receive pins, and the top
scorer in the class will receive a trophy.

Human Geography in
the United States
Students
are
expanding
their
understanding of push and pull factors by
exploring immigration in the United
States. They are reading and analyzing
information articles and immigration data
as well as exploring primary sources
including photographs, memoirs, and
artifacts. We are also examining the
effects of immigration on the United
States with an emphasis on how
immigration
has
affected
cultural
development throughout the country, such
as the influence of the Finnish people in
the Upper Peninsula and the impact of
Mexican culture on areas of the
Southwest.
This is a great opportunity to discuss
your family heritage with your child and
show him/her the countries from which
his/her ancestors originated. You might
also discuss family traditions linked to
cultural heritage.
