1/2 day this Friday January 26. School is dismissed at 11:45. No lunch will be served.

So far, both NWEA tests the students took seemed to go well. Students are taking their time and seem to be trying their best. One more will be taken Tuesday morning–an Oral Language test. Remember, these tests are just one view of your student’s academic growth. Combined with class work and looked at over the years, they give you an idea of your child’s academic progress.

This week’s spelling words: soot, crook, shook, could, should. Dolch words: good, would, goo, went, over

This week for math the geometry focus is symmetry. The student’s seem to be enjoying this unit and learning lots of new math vocabulary! Please continue to work with your child on their addition and subtraction facts, counting different money combinations using bills and coins, as well as telling time on a non digital clock.

Our writing focus continues to be opinion. We are writing our opinion about our favorite special area class. Complete oral and written sentences are practiced and expected.

We are revisiting comparing and contrasting different versions of stories as our CAFE strategy. The students are loving hearing different book versions of Stone Soup.

We’ll be reading and viewing slow ways the Earth changes such as erosion.

Enjoy the week
