January 3rd-6th
As 2011 draws to a close, I know that we are looking forward to all that 2012 will bring. I hope that everyone has a safe and happy holiday break and Happy New Year!
When we return from break, we will be beginning our mini-book and novel units in reading. Each week, we will focus on a specific reading skill (similar to what we have always been doing) but additionally apply them to the books we are reading.
On Thursday, January 5th, we will be having an assembly on Martin Luther King. We will spend the week learning about Martin Luther King's life and his impact on our lives today.
Finally, in math, we will review addition and subtraction word problems throughout the entire week.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday break and happy new year! See you next year! :)

December 12- December 16th
It seems like December just began and we are already entering into our last week before Winter Break! Time is just flying by!!
Next week, we will be using various holiday stories to practice our reading strategy of the week, 'Who and What?' In math, we are continuing to work on addition and subtration at varying levels and we will finish the week with a holiday math activity. In Social Studies, we will be learning about the continents of Antartica and Australia. Since we have spent more time on the continents than I had originally planned, the culminating continent project will be completed after break.
We will be going over to Lakeview to visit with our Pen Pals on Wednesday and will be completing a holiday craft with them!
We also are all looking forward to watching our holiday movies on Friday. Fourth grade will be watching Happy Feet and fifth graders will have the option to choose their favorite movie to watch (Home Alone, Despicable Me, Muppet Christmas, or The Santa Claus).
Have a wonderful week!!!

December 5th -December 9th
It was wonderful meeting and speaking with all of you at Parent Teacher Conferences this week! I am looking forward to another great trimester!
In reading next week, we will practice making predictions. We will be writing our own stories, as well as, reading several published stories to demonstrate our knowledge of this strategy.
In Social Studies, we have offically begun our continents unit! So far we have learned a "Continents Song" to help us memorize the names of the seven continents and learned about North America. Next week, we will be exploring South America and Africa with a short quiz at the end of the week.
Finally, our new Reader's Theater play for the week is "What a Skunk Needs to Do." This play combines humor, rhyme, and fact to create a very funny and enjoyable play to perform!
