It is hard to believe that it is already February. I have a feeling the groundhog is going to see his shadow this year!
Tuesday is our first of two conference days this month. I have closed out the conference sign-ups so I can prepare to meet with you. If you have not signed up for a conference and would like to meet with me please send me an email to arrange a time.
This month current events are voluntary, however we have full class participation! I sent home a finalized schedule last week.
Reading
We continue to read our mystery book while taking notes like a detective. We are also reading our independent chapter books and writing a short response each day to sharpen our skills.
Writing
We will finish drafting our informational writing piece while working on revising. We will also look at adding text features to make our writing more interesting.
Math
We will finish our work with division this week. We will work on dividing with 1 and 0, fact families and using our multiplication and division skills to solve word problems.
This week we will also continue to work on Area. We have a solid understanding of the difference between perimeter and area and how to find each. This week we will find the area of large figures and irregular figures.
Science
We have begun learning about the Solar System. This week we will use the internet and books to research the planets. We will research Earth together to learn how to use these resources. Then the students will research each planet on his/her own.
Some photos from last week...
We are participating in a program called Junior Achievement (https://www.juniorachievement.org/web/ja-usa/home). This week was our first of 5 lessons. Thank you to Mrs. Kanuck for volunteering to teach this program.
Friday was such a fun day. We celebrated our first compliment party by wearing pajamas, making slime (http://chemistry.about.com/cs/howtos/ht/slime.htm) and watching Holes.
Ms. Keller was our mystery reader!
