Dear Parents,

I truly hope that you all had a wonderful holiday season and that you were able to find some quality time with your kids while they were home on vacation.  I so loved seeing all of their faces again!

Mark Your Calendars!

Here is a look at what we’ll be doing in our classroom this week:

Math –  We are continuing our discussion about division.  We are starting chapter 7 and learning strategies for division.  Of course, as you know, division is closely related to multiplication.  Without a firm grasp of multiplication facts, division can be a struggle.  Please have your child practice their facts at home!

Reading – We are reading a short stories from our Wonders anthology.  Students will be reviewing visualization, story elements and main idea and details.

Writing –  Students are learning about the stoplight paragraph model for informative/expository writing.

Social Studies – We will be reading about Martin Luther King, Jr., identifying main idea and details and comparing/contrasting two different articles about him.

Grammar – Students will be reviewing and identifying nouns.

P.E. – We have P.E. every Tuesday and Thursday.

Library – We do not have library this week.

Computers – We have computers every Thursday morning.
