Happy New Year!

Here are some updates on what the kiddos are up to this week:

Writing- The students have been learning about what makes a good fact book and they are now ready to create their own.  All this week the students will be researching a state to create a fact book.  States were chosen at random from a bag.  Be sure to ask them what interesting facts they have learned about their state!

Reading- The comprehension strategy this week is asking questions and the focus is finding facts/opinions.  We learned a lot of interesting facts today in a book about Lizards.  

Grammar- The grammar focus is contractions.

Math- We finished the probability objectives and are now onto revisiting algebra.  The students will have to find missing numbers, missing operations, and missing equality signs in equations as well as identifying expressions.

We are in huge need of tissues and hand sanitizer.  With cold/flu season well underway we are flying through both.  Any donation is greatly appreciated!!

Have a lovely week!
