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 focused on increasing our understanding of the significance of Remembrance Day. 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 the diversity of living organisms culminating with each student researching a vertebrate of their choosing and reporting on what they have learned. In Math, we are continuing to develop our understanding of patterns, how to identify numerical patterns from visual representations, determining the “rule” of a pattern along with problem solving and flexible thinking skills to help us think of a variety of ways to understand and solve problems.
