We finished our opinion unit this week. Students enjoyed the varieties of writing we learned and practiced, from opinions on the best pet to persuasive pieces, candy comparisons and restaurants reviews.
The students are experts on Abe Lincoln and George Washington. Even I learned some new things in our two-week president unit! Our current math, Topic 10, is one of the most challenging of the year. We have slowed down quite a bit. As of right now, our test is scheduled for next Friday. I'm sending the optional study guide home on Monday. We review and take a practice test, but it would be beneficial if your child does the study guide as well. The Book Fair starts Monday to celebrate Read Across America! I hope to see you all at Family Reading Night Tuesday from 6:30–7:30. There will be fun, themed activities focused around our school-wide book, The One and Only Ivan. Our dress up days for the week are: Monday- dress like an animal, Tuesday- PJ day, Wednesday- dress like your favorite book character, Thursday- Crazy hair day, Friday- Willard wear. Snack Helpers We have 25 students in our class now! Monday- Joseph Tuesday- Payton Wednesday- Lucia Thursday- Moselle Friday- Liliana

Another busy week! We celebrated the 100th Day of school and continued with our arctic animal science unit. Students learned about penguins, polar bears and walruses and their adaptations. We did a blubber experiment to comprehend the important role blubber has for a walrus. Students put both hands in a bucket of ice water. One hand was placed in a ziplock bag lined with crisco and the other straight in the ice. We learned that without blubber, a walrus couldn't withstand the extreme arctic temperatures.
The opinion writing is still a big hit, and students are learning how to create a quality piece that gives good reasons and examples. Friendly reminders. The Change-a-Life Coin Drive starts tomorrow and ends Friday. If you're wanting to participate, please send pennies and/or bills with you child. Our Valentine's Day party is Wednesday, February 14 from 2:45-3:25. Students exchange valentines at the start of the party. More details to come this week! |
