Weekly Update
Updates:
We got a pencil sharpener! Thank you to everyone who offered to purchase one for our class. The kids love it! We are finding reasons to write just so we can sharpen our pencils (this is a good problem).
Thank you for all of the Holiday Sharing donations. We met our goal and purchased clothing items - a pair of shoes, two pairs of pants, a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and a long sleeved shirt - for the boy we sponsored.
Please remind your child to bring boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens each day. We will be going outside most days. If students don't have boots and snow pants, they can't play on the equipment or in the fields.
Weekly Accomplishments:
Math: We are learning about fractions and decimals. We continue to work on our multiplication facts. Our next unit will be on multi-digit multiplication.
Reading: We continue to read the book "The Inventions of Hugo Cabret." We are writing our narratives. The students had to write a narrative in which Hugo experiences victory over a new nemesis in a train station.
Science / Social Studies/Health: We are creating brochures about the NE Region.
