Mr. Kussin

This month is shaping up to be a tremendous one. The students are beginning to apply the skills they already possess and apply new ones they have learned so that they may “Earn Their Learning” which is one of the core goals of the class this year. In Social Studies we are exploring the early European explorers, and each student will be responsible for a research project on an explorer of their choosing. In Language Arts our focus is on writing, specifically learning how to write proper paragraphs using the definition and elements of a paragraph and graphic organizers to help plan our ideas. In Science, we will continue to advance our understanding of our solar system culminating with each student creating a booklet about the solar system that communicates what they have learned while incorporating expository text features. In Math, we are continuing to develop our understanding of geometric concepts along with problem solving and flexible thinking skills to help us think of a variety of ways to understand and solve problems.
