In writing, we will begin working on our Famous Missourian Wax Museum project. We will do a small amount of research today so that each student can come up with a list of their top 3 choices. They will also have tonight to come home and brainstorm with parents/siblings on which Missourian they could choose. The Wax Museum date is set for April 1st from 1:45-2:45 in the Multi-Purpose Room.

In Social studies, we will finish up our unit on Becoming a State with a test on Wednesday. Students will be able to use packets and books on this test. We will then move into a new Science unit where will we study motion and energy.

In Spelling, we will continue working on learning rules and practicing cursive with our list this week. The test will be Friday.

In math we will continue working with fractions, ordering and comparing them. We will do several hands on activities and show different strategies to help them be successful with this.
