Welcome back! We are still waiting for dates for various events and will send an email as soon as we know. Here are the events for the week.
This week:
Math: With Mrs. Brown, this week we will learn about rounding the nearest ten, hundred, thousand, up to hundred thousands. With Mrs. Thornton, we will be reviewing area and perimeter with a test on Friday
Reading/Writing: We will continue our Fairy Tale unit. This week, students will be reading a variety of fractured fairy tales. Students will work in groups to discover the differences between a fairy tale and a fractured fairy tale. They will fill out a chart and come up with the elements of a fractured fairy tale and compare this with the chart they created last week. . We will also continue working on writing personal narratives in our journals with the focus on a good beginning/hook. Last, students will be reading about braille and how blind people can read with their fingers. Students will also complete a comprehension activity.
Science- We will be finishing up our projects, reviewing different biomes of the world and learning about animal adaptations.
Physical Education: We will continue with our unit in soccer and play cooperative games.

We kindly ask you attend one show only to allow all families a chance to see their children perform. More details to come after the winter break.
