Just a reminder that there is information about Valentine's Day posted below. Please also make sure you've read my email and the attached letter about our upcoming health lesson.
Reading - Students are finishing up their blog posts with book recommendations. We talked about what makes a good comment, and students can now comment on each other's posts. I will also send home a copy of students' passwords, and they are welcome to write more recommendations from home if it's something you and they are okay with. We've gotten a bit of a head start on reading nonfiction in Social Studies, but that will be our next unit, starting late next week!
Writing - Students have been working so hard to publish their information books! Our Writers' Celebration is at 1:50 in the cafeteria next Thursday, February 4th.
Math - We worked to connect side lengths of rectangles to the shapes' areas. We'll continue focusing on area over the next few days, but will also keep tying in perimeter to give students practice distinguishing between the two measurements.
Social Studies - Students continued writing their nonfiction books about the Pilgrims using main idea + supporting details format. We'll work on these more next week, delving into the Pilgrims' trip on the Mayflower (always fascinating for students!).
Miscellaneous -As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
