Graphing Unit Test

There will be a short graphing unit test next week. A study guide will come home on Tuesday (Monday we have skating in the way), the test will be on Friday, February 8th. Studying will be the only homework next week.

Our new math unit is a focus on Measurement (length, area, perimeter).

Valentines---Thinking Ahead

Several students asked how many students we have so they can buy Valentine cards. We have steadily been increasing our class size and even had a new student today. Our total now is 33 students in the morning. We will not exchange cards in the afternoon, so all day students do not need to bring another set etc. Hope this helps. I can send a list of first names if you wish to personalize cards, but please request this in the agenda. It is simpler to just sign your child's name on the cards and leave names blank.

Measuring and Science!

Heat Fixed

    Our classroom is cozy and warm again. Our heat is working. Our snow day today had 8 students and we worked on story writing, review and did some work on an afternoon art project.
    Stay safe on the roads, as we are apparently getting more snow and freezing rain tonight. No new material is covered on snow days, so please do not worry your child will need to catch up with peers if they did not make it to class.

Heat Unreliable

Our classroom temperature was cold today (14 degrees). Since it is so cold outside and our heat seems to have a hard time keeping up, please send your child with layers and sweaters in case it is just as cold tomorrow! We wore our jackets most of the day today.

Happy New Year

Hello, and welcome back from the holidays! We have a lot coming up over the next few months, including skating starting the first week of February and a pop quiz about graphing this week! I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas break and got to spend time with friends and family.

Our math tests will be coming home tomorrow. Please sign them and return by Thursday. I am sending them in a duotang so they do not get wrinkled or lost. Look for it tomorrow!

Please drive safely in the bad weather tomorrow morning. Watch for bus cancelations and icy sidewalks.

The next month:
Math focus on graphing AND mean, median and mode. Then decimals, multiplication and measurement (cm, mm, meters and conversions)

Language Focus- Working on summarizing skills, retelling fiction (Somebody Wanted But So Then strategy) as well as writing a logical Narrative story. We will also work on reviewing how to write a proper paragraph (topic sentence, supporting facts...)
