January 12th-January 16th




It has been a busy week! We have been getting right back into the swing of things. Jasmine was Student of the Week and brought a special friend for Show and Tell! We celebrated Luke’s birthday on Friday and the One School, One Book title was revealed! The class is so excited to start reading Kenny and the Dragon! We will be doing activities in class that go along with the chapters so please follow the schedule on the bookmark. Please try not to read ahead!






This week…

Reading
We have started a unit on non-fiction. This week we will look at non-fiction text features. We will also be reading a variety of non-fiction articles. Students are reading books of their choice during independent reading.

Writing
We are continuing the informational writing unit. Students are continuing to research their topics and working on elaborating their chapters. We also started a cursive writing unit. The kids are really excited to learn cursive!

Math
We are finishing up Unit 7-Meanings of Division and will have a test on Thursday or Friday. Students have looked at division as equal sharing and repeated subtraction. We also spend time each day doing multiplication drills and word problems. Please make sure your child is practicing facts at home! This can either be on xtramath or flashcards.

Science
We are working on a solar system unit. Students have been researching planets and are doing a variety of projects for each planet. They are really enjoying this unit!
