Mr. Melling's Musing...
On January 15, 2021, Dr. King would have turned 92 years old. What would he think of the America he spent his life serving and influencing? How would he feel about the great successes we have had in America and about the work that still needs to be done?
Let's spend this Monday thinking of how we can honor the life and work of Dr. King in our lives each and every day!

What Are We Learning About?
Math
One of our most useful multiplication tools is a ratio table. A ratio table can help us see patterns in numbers and develop strategies for multiplying numbers. This week, we will do a class wide activity, creating ratio tables for various numbers. Help your student complete theirs on Tuesday!
Reading Groups
Last week we worked on on retelling both fiction and nonfiction texts. When we retell, we focus on the most important details and the order of those details or events. We will continue some of that work this week, learning to spot the main idea and supporting details. This not only helps us to be a better reader, but it will help us be better writers when we learn how to organize our thinking as well.
As always, if your student needs a great book, check out Epic!
Class code: ugi0095.
Last, select your student's name to start reading and collecting great books.
