What We Are Learning 

Reading:

• Students are working on reading and understanding historical fiction and the theme of a story. In writing, students are working on learning to write complete paragraphs.

Math: 

• Students are beginning a new module in our math curriculum. We will be working on measuring weight and volume using grams, kilograms, liters, and kiloliters.

Science:

• Scientists and engineers have figured out a way to build a train that actually floats on air as it goes cruising down the track at high speeds. Students work to explain how this train works in order to reassure residents of a town that the train is safe. Students figure out ideas about magnetic force, gravity, and how forces can cause an object’s movement to change or stay stable. They communicate their ideas by making digital and physical models and by writing explanations.
