Dear Families,
I hope you are well!
If your child wants to bring in Valentines on Friday, a class list was sent home today. There is a special homework assignment to design/decorate a box or envelope to bring to school on Friday. If you would like to send something in Friday, please sign up here. PLEASE DO NOT SEND IN CANDY or extra items that are not on the sign up sheet. Thanks in advance.
Here's an academic update:
MATH- We're engrossed in our second unit on fractions. The children have been solving problems that involve fractions with common denominators and mixed numbers.
READING- We finished Homer P. Figg today and will have a discussion about it tomorrow. Reading partnerships/ independent reading have been going well, and the class has been reading lots of non-fiction to research their report topics.
WRITING- There has been lots of note-taking, categorizing, and crafting happening for our report writing unit. Our goal is to have all the reports published by the first week in March.
SCIENCE- We will begin our unit on salmon after vacation. The eggs have arrived!
SOCIAL STUDIES- The class has been reading and writing about a variety of articles from the newspaper, Maine Studies Weekly. It's challenging work, but the students have been showing great effort.
Thank you to everyone who came in for a Parent/Teacher Conference! It's great to sit down and reflect on each child's successes and struggles. I hope you found them to be as beneficial as I did.
Yours truly, Renee
