​​Religion

     As we begin the school year, we will be studying the ways we come to know God; including creation, Jesus, and the Scripture.

Math

       In Math this month, we will work with place value up to and including the millions period.  We will learn to write our numbers in word and standard forms and to round as well.  We are also practicing our multiplication facts.  Please help us by practicing these at home as well.

Science

      In Science this month we will look at the Scientific Method.  We will lean to form a hypothesis and design an experiment to support it.  Watch for details on our upcoming paper airplane experiment!

We will also learn how to use prefixes to change words and how to use the dictionary to find those words.
