Math: Students are determining the area of classroom objects as well as 2-D shapes. Grade 3s are using the grid square method or adding up each side of shapes labeled with a variety of units. Grade 4s are using these methods as well as the LxW (length times width) formula.
Language: We continue to work on adventure stories. Students are very excited about them. They must write in paragraph form, use dialogue to convey information to the reader, and have exciting or dangerous events for the main character to lead to the climax of the story.
