Reading
Due to Benchmarking we will not have a regular reading lesson next week. There will be no spelling list or spelling test on Friday.
Recess
If the temperature (with wind chill) is above 20 degrees, we will go out. Please send snow pants and boots so your child can play in the snow at recess. Those who are not properly dressed will need to stand on the blacktop.
Reading Logs
Most logs have been returned and the January ones have been sent home. Remember the children are to be reading each night for at least 20 minutes.
Worms
We will be beginning a unit on earthworms. The children will see how a worm bin is made. They will also learn many interesting facts about worms and the benefit they are to our earth.
Student of the Week
Jessica was our special student. Jessica has 2 sisters and 1 brother. A few of her favorite things are the color pink, dogs, pancakes, swimming, art, computers, fishing, bowling and the wii. Jessica is good about reading to her brother and sisters. She shows others she cares by being helpful. When Jessica grows up she would like to be a dog trainer.
Math
We have finished chapter 9 and will begin chapter 10 on Monday. In chapter 10 we will learn about probability.
In-School Field Trip
On Friday, January 14th the children will take part in an in-school activity. They will learn about rocks by doing several "hands-on" activities. They will learn about the layers of the earth and where various kinds of rocks are found.
