January 20th-January 23rd

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend! We spent time last week talking about Martin Luther King, Jr. We read a book called My Brother, Martin, which was written by his sister, about his childhood. We had a great discussion to go along with it! Have a great week!

This week...

Reading

We are continuing a unit on non-fiction. We are reading a variety of non-fiction articles and books. Students are reading books of their choice for silent reading. We are still reading The Land of Stories for read aloud which is about a  boy and girl who enter a fairytale world. The class is so excited to listen each day!

Math

We finished the first part of the division unit last week. Students will be getting back their chapter 7 test to be signed and corrected this week. We will start chapter 8, Division Facts, on Tuesday. We are doing multiplication drills each day. Please make sure your child is practicing their facts at home!

Writing

We are still working on the informational unit. Last week, students used the library online resources to research their topics. They continued to write chapters and this week, we will be revising chapters and working on introductions and conclusions. 

Science

We are working on a solar system unit. Students are researching each planet in the solar system and we will be doing a variety of activities to go along with the research.
