LA - We are still working on our descriptive reports. Those who have not yet presented their book commercials will do so Monday or Tuesday. Keep reading every day / night and journaling, at least two 1-page entries every week.
Math - New unit on geometry: we'll learn all about classifying triangles and polygons.
SS - Heritage fair projects continue. Please bring in whatever materials you need to make your presentation / poster etc. Present Feb 27th.
Other - Valentine's Day dinner will be served Feb 13 (Wednesday). Tickets are on sale until the 12th, no other meals will be served that day.
Ski forms! These need to come in! If you're not planning on coming, please return the form with the "no" box checked, or send in a note so that we know for sure.
Skating continues this Thursday and for the month of February. Students MUST wear helmets (any type), gloves or mitts, and skates (of course). No exceptions, please come prepared.
We will be having a very small celebration on Valentine's Day (Thursday) afternoon. Students are not at all required to bring in valentines, but if they do, please bring in enough for the whole class! We have 23 students.
Feb 4 - 8
Math - we finished our newest unit on decimals, so we'll have the end of unit test on Thursday. Practice estimating, multiplying and long division!
LA - keep reading and writing in your journals. We've started working on a descriptive report - basically telling 'everything you ever wanted to know about ___'. Not about a person, and not explaining why or how, just telling about. Everyone has chosen a topic, and we've had a good chunk of time to begin researching.
Anyone who hasn't done their book commercial will do them on Monday.
Science - we've started a new unit - Flight!
SS - keep working on Heritage Fair projects. We'll be presenting in a couple of weeks, so students should have a good plan by now as far as their final project: what it will look like, what they will need to complete it, etc. Power Point presentations are nice, but not enough of a display for a project. Try to find some other visuals - a poster, things for people to look at and explore, evidence of what you're talking about in your project.
