December 2, 2016 Weekly Update

Hello Families!

We are happy to be back from break, and I hope everyone enjoyed some much needed time off!

Here is a quick breakdown of the things we did in room 218 this past week:

Math-  We spent the week looking at a problem solving situation that gave us practice with multiplication, and introduced some important connections with division.

Reading-  We have started putting together a parts of speech interactive notebook.  So far, we have covered nouns and pronouns.  Next week, we will look at verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

Social Studies-  We are researching the different regions of our state.  Next week, we will complete note-taking and work with groups to create a map of our region that shows landforms, economic products, and other features!

Spelling-  Students will be working on Sort 9 next week in spelling, and they will take the spelling test over sort 8 on Monday.  

I wanted to extend my thanks to everyone who helped contribute to our holiday feast before the break.  The kids really enjoyed it, and it would be a great tradition to start for our new school.  Thanks again, and have a great weekend!
