Weekly Update
Written by Sierra and Maddy

This week in Language Arts we have been busy reading By The Great Horn Spoon Chapters 10-13. We also read Creatures of the Deep, then wrote a big summary on it. We've been doing lots of things that include summaries. We have also been looking at the main ideas of some writing.

In math we have been learning about geometry and decimals. In geometry we learned about parallelograms, polygons and how to use triangles to make them. For decimals we have been learning about tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

In Social Studies we have been learning about the Gold Rush. We were assigned a specific technique that miners used to get gold. They were panning, rocker, sluice box, long tom and hydraulic mining. We created skits to teach our class about the different techniques. We hope you have enjoyed this update!
