January 16-20th

In math this week, we are continuing to work on telling time. We will be using the clocks that we made last week to practice.

In reading, we are continuing to work in our groups. Those of us reading "The Secret Garden" will continue through the next few chapters next week focusing on vocabulary and comprehension. We are really enjoying this story! The second group will continue reading the work of Eric Carle and, by the end of the week, we will begin writing our own "Eric Carle" stories. A formal rubric will be going home on Wednesday.

In Social Studies we will begin our continents project. This project will be completed mostly in school, but some work will be required outside of school. I will be uploading a rubric within the next few days.

Both the 4th and 5th grade grade-level spelling bee will be occurring this week. Fourth grade on Tuesday afternoon and fifth grade on Wednesday. We will be there to cheer on our other classmates!

Finally, we will be completing our Math MAPS testing on Wednesday morning. The students will have minimal homework on Tuesday so that they can get to bed extra early in preparation for the testing.

Have a wonderful three day weekend!!!
