February 20th to February 24th
The pictures above show the Valentine's Day animal bags students made to hold their cards! Thank you again to the parents who planned and came in to help with our class Valentine's Day party! It was so much fun!
We will not have school on Friday, February 17th and Monday, February 20th due to conferences and Presidents' Day. Please plan accordingly.
We will have an in-school field trip on Tuesday, February 21st that we like to call "Matter, Matters." Scientists from High Touch, High Tech will be coming in to teach us all about the states of matter while conducting experiments.
Science: We will study space in chapter 10. Students will learn about why we have seasons in lesson 1!
Social Studies: We will begin the study of Chicago at the end of the week. Students will create their own design of the Chicago flag.
Math: We will continue unit 5, which focuses on Geometry & Measurement (Area and Perimeter). This week we will focus on studying angles and polygons in module 2. Also, we will have a divide by 9 timed test on Thursday, February 23rd. They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.
Reading:
We will continue our unit on traditions. This week we will read The Matchbox Diary by Paul Fleischman and discuss main idea and theme! Students will also read good fit stories/articles.
Culture Day: Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home this past Monday about Culture Day! Students will need to read three chapters from their country report to the class, share their connection to the country they are presenting, and bring in at least 2 items as well. I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (2/22, 2/23, 2/24, or 2/28).
Spelling: Students have received a spelling list and should complete three activities using the spelling menu. The test will be on Friday, February 24th. The activities will also be due on Friday, February 24th.
