Week of Feb. 15-19
Sorry for the late post! Welcome back to everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful, fun break with family. I know I did!
Thank you to all for the Valentine goodies! I definitely enjoyed them over the break. Thank you also to all the parents for helping with our ice cream sundae party. You made it so easy and it is greatly appreciated. Once again, thanks to Mrs. Mathis for organizing!
This week we are learning:
Spelling–Oops, the Thursday before break was so busy we didn’t get to the Spelling test. Students are doing word work activities with the words to practice and we will take the test this Friday.
Daily 5/CAFE–We are working on summarizing this week, using main ideas. We are also focusing on strong verbs. Students are flagging in their reading and sharing so we can then transfer these to our writing.
Math–Our focus this week is larger numbers–writing and reading them in different forms. We are also working on pictographs. Students are creating them using a key and are also answering questions based on the data in the graph.
Social Studies–We are learning about Michigan’s government. Hopefully you saw the cool trees come home that students created based on what we have learned about the 3 branches of government. We should finish up late this week or early next with rights and responsibilities of citizens. Students will be assessed next week.
Writer’s Workshop–Our focus this week is a descriptive piece. Students are creating stories about waking up to find out they have shrunk to the size of an ant. We will be using our powerful, descriptive language in our stories.
Have a great rest of the week!
