Hello Parents and Followers,

Previously we informed you about our Friendship Parties day, which is coming up next Friday, February 16, and would like to give some quick reminders about the class parties!  If you would like to sign up to volunteer for your child's teacher please let your teacher know ahead of time before that Friday. We always greatly appreciate your support. For your child, please bring a white lunch bag/sack to serve as a mailbox. If you want your child to bring valentines cards, there is no need to write names on them, but please have enough to pass out for everyone in class. There will be more information to come, as the date gets closer.

Language Arts

This week in Language Arts, we studied Theme and Cultural Heritage in Fables, Myths, Folktales, and Legends. Students paraphrase the theme and supporting details of each one of the elements previously mentioned.

Science

This week we started with Life Science, in which began to understand and communicate the importance of organisms and environments.  They learned that organisms have characteristics that help them survive and can describe patterns, cycles, systems, and relationships within the environments.  We also covered natural disasters and ecosystems.

Math

In Math this week we continue focusing on Fractions! Students will be able to reason about fractions using multiple models. They will also understand that a fraction describes the division of a whole object or a set of objects into equal parts. They get to explore the different models of fractions including strip diagrams and fractions on a number line.
