January 6-10

Hello Parents!

Hello Parents:

Welcome to 2020! I hope you had a great holiday break. Just a reminder, the weather is pretty cold and unpredictable.  We have outdoor recess every day. Make sure your child comes to school with a coat, gloves, a hat, and shoes for playing in the snow.

Here’s What’s Happening in…

MATH:

We will start Chapter 6: Adding and Subtracting Fractions. This can be challenging for some students. It is so important that they know their multiplication facts. Please practice these at home.

I will also be sending unfinished classwork home as homework. I allow 30 minutes before class starts to work on “bellwork” which is the homework page for Go Math. I also give a lot of time to work during math time as well as support. I am also doing math groups Monday-Thursday from 8:15-8:45.

CKLA:

We have started Unit 5: The Adventures of Don Quixote. This is a very entertaining story about a gentlemen who went crazy from reading fantasy books. We will also learn about writing fact vs. opinion papers this month.

Students will also begin writing another opinion paper this month.

SCIENCE:

Students are still working with Mrs. Hunter to learn Magnetism and Electricity.

Upcoming Dates:

January 20: No School Martin Luther King Jr. Day

January 31: Book Club (Optional)

February 3-7: SEP Week
