Week 19

 Dear Parents,

           We are settling into the new semester. I am really working with students to make sure they are completing and turning in all work including homework. Thank you so much for making sure your child completes his/her Reading/ Math log on Mon.-Thurs and that he/she turns it in on Friday. Look out for math and reading homework in their blue folders Mon-Thurs. as well. In math this week we decomposed numbers, ordered numbers and compared the value of numbers. In reading and writing we have been working on a unit on poetry. We have visualized poems as we listened to them, written our own poems and learned about the different elements that poetry has. In science we finished up our unit on natural Sources of freshwater and saltwater. In social studies, we focused on Martin Luther King Jr. We learned why we celebrate his life on Monday.
