Updates!

This week is the last week of classes before the end of the second quarter and winter break.  We have some very fun activities for students planned, as well as finishing up curriculum for the quarter.

This week in curriculum:
In math we are completing our chapter on Perimeter and Area.  Students will be taking their quiz on Tuesday.  The study guide will come home tonight and be due in the morning.  We will review Wednesday and pick up with 3 dimensional shapes after winter break.

In English Language Arts, we are finishing up Author's Purpose and taking our quiz today.  Students will be asked to find the author's purpose of a short piece of writing and tell why they think it is the Author's Purpose.  We will begin learning about Figurative Language when we come back from the break.  In writing we are continuing to story tell our small moments to back up our bullet points for our personal essays.  When we come back from break, we will begin organizing, revising, and editing our drafts.  We will take our Spelling Test on Thursday this week instead of Friday.  Tic Tac Toes will be due on Thursday this week as well.

We are not switching for Science or Social Studies this week.

Friday is the end of quarter 2 and our Holiday Parties.  We will have our book project celebration during the morning on Friday.  At 1:15 we will have the reindeer relays in the gym.  Classroom parties begin at 1:45.  As a reminder, classroom games must remain in the classroom.  Parties end at 2:45.  

Have a great week and a wonderful winter break!  Happy Holidays! Class resumes on Monday, January 6th.
