Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and an enjoyable vacation. We'll be getting right back into the swing of things this week. We will be having the One School, One Book kick off assembly on Friday. Look for more information coming home this week!
Reading
We finished up the character unit and will be starting a non-fiction reading unit this week. This will go along with the informational writing unit we are working on. Students will also be continuing to read a book of their choice for independent reading.
Writing
We will continue the informational writing unit. Students have chosen their topics and have begun drafting chapters. We will work on elaborating by adding details. We will also be starting two new writing activities over the next couple of weeks. Students will begin learning cursive and will start a program called Type to Learn to teach typing skills.
Math
We finished the multiplication unit, but students still need a lot of practice with their facts. We will be doing multiplication drills in class and it is important that students are doing xtramath at least three times a week to practice facts. We will be starting division this week.
Science
We are working on a solar system unit in science and will be starting electricity.
