Donations Needed
'Tis the season...for runny noses! Unfortunately we have run out of facial tissues and hand sanitizer. Our kids would be so grateful to have more tissues and sanitizer available to help us get through cold season. Thank you in advance for any donations you can send in.
Math
We are working on fractions, including understanding what a fraction represents, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, and finding equivalent fractions.
Reading
We continue to work with theme in our reading class, but this time we're looking at it while exploring drama. We're using strategies such as asking/answering questions to help us understand the author's message. We're also continuing to practice citing evidence from the text to support our answers.
Writing
We're working on informational reports in class. Students have learned how to do research using the Kiddle.co website. They're learning how to paraphrase information found by other authors, and are organizing the facts they collect in their research. They will be writing a multi-paragraph essay to teach about their chosen topic.
Science
We're beginning a unit in science about energy. We'll introduce the topic this week and continue our study after the winter break.
We have early dismisssal on Friday, 12/22. Instead of 3:30pm, students will dismiss at 3:15pm.
