The Upcoming Week at School:
Reading: This week students will continue to learn about nonfiction text features with nonfiction good fit articles. They will create their own booklets filled with text features. Please make sure your child is reading and keeping track of their minutes on the February reading log!

Culture Week: Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home about Culture Week! Students will need to read three chapters from their country report to the class, share their family/ancestor connection to the country they are presenting, and bring in 2 items as well. I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (2/20, 2/21, 2/22, or 2/23). Students have received a paper copy of their research paper on Thursday, February 15th that they can use to help practice.

Math:   This week students will study polygons and their attributes. They will solve polygon riddles and then create their own. Then we will study area and perimeter using multi-digit numbers. We will have a divide by 12 timed test on Wednesday, February 21st.  They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.
