Happy New Year!!
Welcome to 2016! I hope everyone had a great winter break. The kids are getting back into the swing of things as the new year begins.
The Seven Wonders of Sassafrass Springs
I have started reading aloud The Seven Wonders of Sassafrass Springs. Eben, the main character in the story, is reading a book about the Seven Wonders of the World and is challenged by his father to find the seven wonders of where he lives (Sassafrass Springs). The students are working in groups and researching the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and will present their information with a display board.
Math
This past week the students took the Chapter 5 multiplication math test. We will start division patterns and then move to long division. The students need to practice their multiplication facts every night. I know everyone has a busy schedule, but 5 minutes a day makes a big difference.
Number the Stars
We are reading, writing, and learning about World War II by reading the novel, Number the Stars. The students are enjoying the novel.
Roller Skating
Students will begin roller skating on January 19th. A schedule will be sent home soon if you would like to come and help.
