I hope everyone enjoyed the milder temperatures this weekend! We had a great time dressing like farmers on Thursday! Scroll down to my last post to check out a picture of the class if you haven't seen it!
Reminders:
Tuesday, February 4th and Tuesday, February 11th are 11:45 dismissal days for students for parent conferences.
For Valentine's Day next Friday, please make sure to send in Valentines for the class. We will have a special breakfast and will be exchanging valentines. Please have your child address one to every member of the class and sign each one. I will send home a class list this week. Thanks!
This week...
Reading
Last week, we finished our read aloud Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White and discussed the similarities to Charlotte's Web. We focused on the theme of friendship from both books and wrote about a special friend. This week, we will start book clubs. We will do an author study of Beverley Cleary and our read aloud and book club books will be by Beverley Cleary. Students will work in the guided reading groups to meet and discuss the book. Each group will be assigned a book on Monday. This can be read for nightly reading. January logs are due Monday.
Writing
We are still in the informative writing unit. Students have been looking at examples of informational writing and are trying to apply this to their writing on solar systems.
Math
We finished part 1 of the division unit (meanings of division) and had a test on Friday. We will start the next chapter on division on Monday. This will focus on the relationship between multiplication and division and fact families.
Science/Social Studies
In Science, we are working on electricity and the solar system. We will be going back into Starlab this week! In Social Studies, we are continuing to learn about the United States.
