Field trip on February 29! Permission slips were sent home on Friday. Please return as soon as possible. Fort Menendez is a wonderful trip and we look forward to it! Click on the photograph for the link to the Fort Menendez website.
Jump Rope for Heart will be this Thursday and Friday. Please wear appropriate shoes for this event. We will let you know when we find out which day our classes will participate.
ELA: Students will be bringing home reading homework periodically. Please check the planner for days when it is due and look over it with them at home.
I'm thrilled with the usage of Achieve3000 this month! Many students have already completed at least 4 lessons in February! Remember the goal is to score at least 75% and to write a complete answer on the thought question at the end of the lesson. Before writing the thought question, click on the blue box that says "Include in your answer" to make sure you know what is expected! Student Lexile growth has been incredible! Thank you for supporting your child in using this program!
We will continue to read Peter Pan. Students will meet in discussion groups to debate about which character's actions affected the events in the story the most. Students will also identify Peter Pan's thoughts, feeling, and actions in chapter 9. All of these guide Peter's motivations. Students will consider all of this in their character analysis of Peter.
MATH: This week in math we will begin to identify a shaded
fractional part in different ways depending on the designation of the
whole. Place whole number fractions and
fractions between whole numbers on a number line and compare fractions and
whole numbers on a number line by reasoning about their distance from 0. The students will begin to recognize and show
that equivalent fractions refer to the same point on the number line.
