Mrs. Burland's Bulletin
February 11th through February 14th

On Thursday, February 14th we will celebrate Valentine's Day.  Thank you so much to our party planners and to all the parents who are helping run the activities! I also appreciate the parents who are sending in treats and supplies! The students are going to have a blast!  If students choose to pass out Valentine's Day cards, they should get a card for everyone in the class.  There are 22 students in the class (7 boys and 15 girls).  We will pass out cards on Thursday before the class party. 

We will not have school on Friday, February 15th or Monday, February 18th.  Please plan accordingly.

The Upcoming Week at School:

Reading: Starting on Monday, students will begin taking notes for an expository writing piece on a country where their family/ancestors have immigrated from. This weekend students should be deciding which country they would like to choose. 

Spelling:  Students already received a spelling list and should complete three activities using the spelling menu.  The test will be on Thursday, February 15th.  The activities will also be due on Thursday, February 15th.  

Math:   We will continue to study angles in unit 5, module 1. Unit 5 focuses on Geometry & Measurement (Area and Perimeter).  Then we will study circles, lines, and polygons. We will have a divide by 7 timed test on Thursday, February 14th.  They will have two minutes to complete 26 problems.  

Social Science: There will be a chapter 3 social studies test on Tuesday. Students have a study guide which we filled out in class. Then we will begin a unit on Chicago! In science, we will continue chapter 4 titled, "Why does the train float, even though gravity is acting upon it?"
