Good afternoon Room 106 parents!
This week in math, we finished our unit on bar graphs and picture graphs. Students did excellent work this week and the quiz scores were generally very high. I hope we can carry this momentum into next week when we start fractions. In literacy, we read informational and expository texts regarding wolves and foxes, and we used these texts to build our “compare and contrast” skills, including using Venn diagrams. In writing, we engaged in a variety of activities to build our writing stamina, such as looking at a picture and describing it in great detail, or crafting creative stories based on what we see in the picture. In social studies, we continued our study of immigration, exploring how immigration brings people of different cultures to our country, and how we benefit from this diversity. Next week our focus will be on how people can improve their communities. Finally, in social emotional learning, we wrapped up our kindness unit by making kindness coupons for people in our lives that we appreciate or who have helped us.
There is no homework this weekend. Enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! (We will have a spelling test next week on Thursday due to the short week, so if your student has been struggling, I recommend they practice the words over the weekend.)
NOTES:
* February Book Reports are due in 2 weeks (2/23). Students are required to complete and turn in the book report form in addition to presenting their report (in class or via Seesaw).
* February 23rd is also the end of Trimester 2. I have let students know about any missing work and assignments, included giving them extra copies.
* Thank you to all of the parents I met with yesterday to discuss their student’s progress. There are still plenty of spots available for next Thursday’s conferences for anyone who hasn’t signed up yet but would like to. LINK: http://tinyurl.com/Room106Conferences
* We are still looking for one more volunteer for next week’s Valentine’s Day party. Please let me know if you are interested!
Have a great weekend!
Ben
