Weekly Update

Writing

This past week we made great progress with our informational books!  We have started writing Chapter 1: All About the Revolutionary War.  Next, we will focus on our small war topic in Chapter 2. 

Reading

Students are doing a great job practicing for book clubs while reading, "The Wild Robot."  We are having some awesome discussions about the book, and students are impressing me with their ideas!

Math

We continued in Chapter 8 with equivalent fractions, simplest form, and comparing and ordering fractions. This week we will focus on mixed numbers and improper fractions.  The Chapter 8 Test over fractions will be this Friday, 1/26.

Social Studies

We are currently studying more about the Revolutionary War in social studies to compliment our writing unit! 

Other Important Info. 

• Cecelia and Jacob did awesome in the school spelling bee, coming in the top 3!  Our class had SO much fun watching them on Facebook Live!  
• Make sure you are seeing math worksheets coming home in the front pocket of the accordion file.  We do either even or odd problems, so it would be good practice for students to do the other problems on their worksheets at home!
• A class list with student names will be sent home to aid students in making valentines!  
• Six Flags Read to Succeed forms are due Friday, February 23rd!  Your child can use the same minutes read outside of class on our reading log!  Students can turn in their form when they've read 6 hours to get a free Six Flags pass!  
• This Wednesday, 1/24, is an early release day with dismissal at 1:40.  Please make sure your child knows how they are going home.
