This week we will learn about Martin Luther King, Jr. We will read stories about him and learn a song about him on Friday. We will continue our author study of Mo Willems. The students are really enjoying his books. They will be buddy reading them aloud to the class this week! We will finish our animal reports and share them during writing workshop. The students are learning how to do research about the animals they have chosen. We are learning a lot, and they are creating informative non-fiction pieces to add to their writing portfolios.
We have finished another unit in the Scott Foresman reading series. We will have the unit test this week and begin Unit 4. We are almost finished with Unit 5 in Everyday Math. Please keep practicing addition facts. We will also be measuring to the nearest inch.
We have been inside for recess because of the snow. The children are allowed to bring things from home to play with, as long as they are willing to share them with classmates.
I hope you have been enjoying the snow! The sledding has been wonderful! Have fun and be careful!
