This week in Science, we continued our unit on
birds. In Math, we worked on 2-digit subtraction
and took a quiz. In English, we learned about
synonyms, using commas in dates and places,
and we practiced our creative writing. In Social
Studies, we discussed different types of
communities and why people may choose to
settle in an area. In Religion, we reviewed Unit 3
and had a test.
