Important Notes:
Your child's SRI/SMI reports will be in their Friday folder/Home Binder today. Please look for them.
Please come to the open house and book fair this Sunday! Hope to see you then.
If you are able to send in a box of tissue or chlorox/baby wipes, it would be greatly appreciated.
Reading/Language Arts
We will continue the Nature's Hazards theme on Monday. The comprehension strategy is determining importance. Our word study skills will be homonyms and words with endings -ed, -ing, and -s. Students will learn what important information to include in observation logs.
Math
Unit 7 math tests have been returned. Please look for them in your child's home binder. We have begun work on identifying and naming fractions. We learned The Equivalent Fractions Game today and will use it next week to help identify fractions that name the same amount. We will have our unit 8 math test around February 8.
Science
In science we are beginning a unit on ecosystems.
Religion
Students are geared up for Catholic Schools Week. We have written a prayer for Father Fred, created art work with the theme of Faith, Knowledge, and Service and have discussed how to treat others and make choices that Jesus would be proud of.
