Winter Party Reminder
Don't forget to bring skates, sleds, and anything else to make a day of outdoor fun on Saturday! I know we will all have a wonderful time - see you there!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 20: 1+1+1 words and endings that begin with consonants
- English/Writing - The students will review all about verbs. The Unit 3 Verbs Test is scheduled for Wednesday, January 30! Then we will work on our public speaking skills as we "perform" some poetry.
- Reading - We will continue reading poetry to find poems that tell stories, send messages, share feelings, and start us wondering.
- Science - The students are learning about levers, inclined planes, screws, and wedges. Machines Quiz #2 (over activities #8A-10B) is scheduled for Friday, February 1! Students can prepare by reviewing the highlighted information or ideas in their blue Machines and Motion booklet.
- Social Studies - We will continue our "travels" of the Southeast as we learn about the people and history of the region in Chapter 7.
- Accelerated Math - The students will complete a homework review worksheet in class on Monday. Then we will learn about finding prime factors, equivalent fractions, and lowest terms (or simplest form).
