In math we learned order of operations (P.E.M.D.A.S.), we also used study island, we learned how to figure out the area and circumference of a circle, and find the perimeter and area of regular and irregular figures.

 Science  In science we learned about the states of matter, birds of prey, and how to measure the volume of objects using a triple beam balance and the water displacement method. We also did the forces of motion.

 Social Studies

 In social studies we learned about Mesopotamia, Ancient China, Ancient Egypt, voyage of the Mimi, and Ancient Greece. I liked Ancient Egypt the best because we made mummies the way they did and had a funeral. 

 English/Reading ====In english and reading we read the christmas carol, studied 15 units of vocabulary, read a Gary Paulson book, and made a notebook about a part of speech such as a noun or verb. We also learned how to speak better in front of the class from when we present our projects. ====

 Field Trips  Franklin Institute Camden Aquarium Lehigh Valley Zoo Bethlehem Community Center

The field trips we went on were really awesome. We learned a lot but had fun too.

 Outdoor Program <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; color: rgb(144, 13, 242);"> During the outdoor program we got to do different activities with all the teachers. Mr. Beyer taught us science which included clouds and weather. Mrs. Fuini-Hetten and Mrs. Yurconic taught us about polygons and how to determine if the Little Lehigh river is polluted. Mr. Shwyer (don't know how to spell his name) taught us about the different kinds of trout and how to identify the trout. We went on a hike with Mrs. Klinger and her and Mrs. B. taught us how to identify plants and flowers and how to tell if you can eat them or not. Mrs. Deoliveria (don't know how to spell her name either) taught us how to read a compass correctly and the three kinds of leaves.

I only had 2 teachers; Mrs. Fuini-Hetten and Mrs. Yurconic. Our teachers didn't give us very much homework which is good. We also got to do most of our projects the way we wanted to. Like, we didn't have to do everything exactly the same as everyone else.

<span style="font-size: 144%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; background-color: rgb(0, 128, 0); color: rgb(22, 218, 11);"> Library <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; color: rgb(0, 0, 255); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; font-size: 120%; background-color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"> In library we go to the library once every 6 days to learn about things in the library. We learned how to tell if a website has good info. or not. We can check out 4 books at a time; but if we don't return them on time we have to pay a fine.
