January 18

There will be no school on Friday as it is a Teacher Planning Day. Report cards will go home on January 28.

ELA: No spelling this week... We completed our frog module last week. Below are a few examples of both sides of our Freaky Frog Trading Cards! Students researched using several sources and wrote informational narratives in the first person. We will share our cards this week. So proud of their great effort and work!!!

This week, we will begin our third module centering around the classic tale, Peter Pan. We will read this closely and focus on the characters, their emotions, traits, and motivations.

Homework:
Module 4 Lesson 5

Module 4 Lesson 7

Things to practice and review at home:
Explore number patterns:  For example: 47, 55, 63, …  what is the 5th number in the pattern?
Developing fluency in skip counting by 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
Continue practicing adding and subtracting numbers within 1000.
