Dear Families, We’ve been busy this trimester! In reading, we finished exploring the theme “Medicine, Past and Present” and started a unit on “Survival”. In Math, we finished Chapter 5, 6, and 7 on Multiplication, Division, and Fractions. We’re skipped over Chapter 8 and are learning about Decimals in Chapter 9. In Writing, we’ve mastered Narrative, Summary, and Response to Literature essays in preparation for our big statewide writing test on March 3. In Social Studies, we are learning about California Native Americans, Explorers, and Missions. In Science, we learned about Electricity with Mr. Mansfield and Fast Changes with Mrs. Morgester. More Important Dates Thursday, March 5 – Minimum Day and Report Cards March 6-April 5– No school for Track A Monday, April 6 – Track A returns to school As always, I encourage parents and other family members to be involved in their child’s education. Please stop by anytime to say hello! If you would like to volunteer in class or set up an appointment to talk with me, please contact me via email at LHWood@egusd.net. Thanks for your support! -Ms. Wood
