We’ve
had a great couple of weeks since winter break!
We jumped right back into two-digit addition with regrouping, and I was
impressed with how well our class did.
Now we are beginning two-digit subtraction with regrouping. We’re moving slowly to make sure we really
understand the concept.
We
are on our review week in Reading Street.
In this unit we practiced verbs, prefixes, compound words, antonyms,
author’s purpose, fact and opinion, and many other skills. We made verb super heroes to show action words!
Although there was not a homework packet this week, students are still expected to read and practice math facts each day.

We
wrote our New Year's goals, including books we want to read and foods we
want to try. We learned about Martin
Luther King Jr. and wrote about his life.
We enjoyed seeing "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" at Alta High School. Our class was very polite and well behaved.

We
had a fabulous time at our Hawaiian Luau!
It was fun wearing tropical clothing in the middle of winter. We ate pineapple, mango, and bananas, and we
danced to Hawaiian music. We did a
geography lesson, learned a new song, and tried out some musical instruments. We also studied volcanoes, which goes with
our rock unit.
We’re
looking forward to our field trip to the Natural History Museum on
Wednesday. If you signed up for your
child to bring home lunch, please make sure you send it that day.
If
you haven’t yet signed up for SEP conferences, please do so as soon as
possible. I look forward to meeting with
all of you!
Please
contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for all you do. Your children are wonderful!
