December 9, 2016 Weekly Update

Hello Everyone!

I hope you're all staying warm during this cold snap!  We have had a great week, and here are some of the things we have been learning in class:

Math-  Working in groups and problem solving have been the keys to our success in math this week.  The problems the kids are working through are division based, but they use multiplicatioin to  help the students understand the meaning of division.  They enjoy creating posters with their partners and showing them to  the other students!

Writing-  We are integrating writing and social studies as students are preparing presentations for the regions we have been researching.  Students took notes, made maps, and will be making a powerpoint presentation about their regions next week.  

Reading-  We are finishing up our read aloud book!  It has been so exciting, it's hard to imagine starting something else, but we will soon have to move on to another great story.  Stay tuned!


Before I go, I wanted to mention that we are having our class spelling bee next week.  I will send an email out soon with a reminder, but it will be held Tuesday afternoon.  I am encouraging all students to participate, so  I hope everyone can join in on the fun!

We'll see everyone at the musical on December 15th!  Take care, and winter break is approaching soon!
