What's going on in the classroom...
….. We will begin Unit 4 of the Wonders text selections the week of January 11. The corresponding grammar curriculum will contain a primary focus on "everything" pronouns. We will also continue to review and practice concepts that were covered during the first semester.
..... Chapter 5 in our math book finds us delving into number theory and connecting fractions and decimals. A few of the concepts covered include prime factorization, least common multiple, lowest terms, mixed numbers/improper fractions, comparing & ordering, and converting fractions to decimals and vice versa. Although many of these concepts have already been introduced in our daily Minute Math, this chapter will allow for greater understanding through a more in-depth study.
Meet Miss Megan Cassidy
Our very own Christmas morning in the classroom...
Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I would also like to thank our capable room parents for organizing our wonderful holiday treats on December 18. Our morning snacks and afternoon cookie decorating were enjoyed by all during our Celebrate Literacy ~ Holiday Style Day. (I've included a few pictures as a "souvenir" of the fun and frivolity!)
Again, thank you for these gifts, as well as the many kindnesses you extend throughout the ENTIRE school year. I know that I am truly blessed to be surrounded by such a thoughtful and caring group of students and parents! <3
Cookie Monster isn't the only one who likes cookies...
I wish you all a very bright and blessed new year!
