Cocoa and Cookies Next Wednesday
Please join the CSI Team for cocoa and cookies and a discussion of our School Improvement Plan on Wednesday, January 21st from 3:30-4:30. We will meet in the cafeteria. Children are welcome to attend.
Story Structure
This week we talked about how the structure of a fiction story is a lot like the structure of a TV show. I asked the kids to notice how each time you have a commercial break, you are switching to a new part of the story arc.
Figurative Language
We will focus on poetry again next week during the afternoon ELA block. To understand poetry you need to understand figurative language.
Statistics
Please review this poem with your child daily to help him or her remember what the different statistics vocabulary means. Late next week the kids will do a little data analysis.
Fraction and Decimal Work
This week we looked at turning fractions into decimals and improper fractions into mixed numbers. We are also creating a fraction/decimal number line in our classroom. By learning benchmark fractions and decimals it will be very easy for the kids to place fractions and decimals on a number line. Watch for a photo of our number line next week. (It isn't ready to make a public debut.)
