Valentine List

A class list was sent home today if your child is interested in sending cards to school for Valentine's Day. Sending cards is optional, however, if your child wants to give cards, they must do so for each student in class. The party is Friday, February 14 at 3:00-3:30. Cards may be sent on the day of the party.

This week in reading we are reading the Scholastic News Magazine. We are working on comparing and contrasting and points of view.  The children are learning how to compare and contrast the different points of view of people.

In writing we are starting to write a fictional narrative.  This is a story that the authors "makes up." while writing this story the children will be working on how to write dialogue.

In math we are going to be testing Unit 9 on Wednesday which is simple division.  We will then move on to harder division.  The children were taught to do division using this statement....
Think McDonald's Super Cheese Burger.  Ask your child what that means. I will email your child's math test score home next week.

Thank you to everyone who sent in Play Dough! We are able to construct our mound artifacts and will be sharing them with the class next week! The children are really excited for this activity! We will be starting Era 2 next week.

MANY CHILDREN ARE IN NEED OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES!! THEY NEED PENCILS AND NEW CRAYONS.
