Writing: All students have chosen a scientist/inventor and have started to compile research through books, videos, and the Internet. Students have organized their notes into the categories of: Childhood, Accomplishments, Character Traits, and Fun Facts about their scientists.

Math: We are working with place value to the millions, multi-step words problems, and multiplication facts. We are focusing on the concept that each place to the left is 10 times greater than the place on the right.
