Weekly Update: 2/19

Happy Friday!!  I hope you are able to get outside to enjoy this beautiful weather today!


Writing:  In writing this week, we have continued drafting our information books.  Many of the kiddos have also begun the editing and revising phase of their writing.  Next Thursday will be the last day to finish publishing our piece.  

Please see the attachment to my weekly update email for details about our writing celebration that you are invited to attend!


Reading:  In reading we finished up our unit on reading and researching history.  We will continue to work on those skills as we move forward.  Next Monday, we will be starting a new unit on poetry!  We are looking forward to trying out something new!


Math:  This week in math the kids ROCKED finishing up our chapter on decimals.  Our test is this afternoon.  I am so proud of their hard work throughout this chapter.  Next week we will begin our next chapter on measurement.


Social Studies:  We have switched back to social studies from science and will be working on it for the next couple of weeks.  We read and discussed pioneer life and began talking about the Missouri Compromise.  Next week we will be participating in an interactive Oregon Trail game.

I hope you have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Miss DiFranco
