Math
We continue to work through chapter 6. I predict a unit test happening the last week of February.
Students also need to continue working on their multiplication facts. Don't forget that we will be doing our multiplication fluency quizzes every Tuesday/Thursday. Once everyone completes the 12's we will have an ice cream party.
Literacy
Reading-
Along with our NWEA testing and our field trip to BME, we had a day to focus on Martin Luther King Jr. We watched video clips of his speech and thought about what our dreams for the world. You can see our Dream Clouds hanging in the hallway.
Writing- We worked on finishing up our preposition poems. Next week we will begin our animal stories that we will get published in a hardback book.
