Dear UMAC Parents,
We were SO happy to see the warm sun today and have warmer temperatures. I was so proud of how well my team continued on their academic adventures even with several days of indoor recess!
Next week throughout our literacy, we will be introducing a fairy tale unit next week. To enrich our reading and writing activities, we are asking students to bring in a favorite fairy tale from home if possible. Since all of our UMAC and fifth grade classes will be studying this genre, there will be a limited supply of texts to check out in the library. (This is completely optional, but if you have a few books you would be willing to share throughout this unit, they will be returned in four weeks.)
**Please also see the note about the Valentine's party in our Upcoming Events section since it will be held at a different time due to our Early Release Day.
Have a nice, long weekend!

Old Friends: Our old friends were using a variety of graphs this week to determine the trends and data that were presented. Percent circles were a favorite since our team shared how it was interesting to view the percentages presented.
Upcoming Events:
Monday, January 18- No School
Friday, January 22- History Alive Chapter Test!
**Please make your calendar! Our Valentine’s Day party will be held on Friday, February 12 @ 11:00! We ask that if your child chooses to bring in valentine’s to share with the class, they bring one for everyone in the class. :)
