Cool Chronicles

By

Rose Marie Nkumu and Chad Miller

Hi this is Rose Marie here with a couple new things that were doing in our classroom. This week in Spanish were learning about numbers and more phrases as we get comfortable using  them around our class. Currently in language arts we are doing story structures and summaries. In social studies we are just starting our unit of U.S. History. We just got done with doing maps and are now reading about longitude and latitude. In science we are learning about the microbes. Today we just started spelling in language arts, also in language arts we did a two sided grammar sheet. We also made a vocabulary crossword sheet for one of our family members to figure out. In math we are learning about arrays, prime numbers, and factors.
