WELCOME BACK! We have had a very productive day! We began working on how to find common denominators to begin adding and subtracting unlike fractions. We started the Newbury-award winning novel, Out of the Dust, which is set during the Dust Bowl of the Great Depression (and will be the source of our vocabulary this week and next). Students have a copy to read at school but unfortunately the books cannot be taken home. We also started a non-fiction book Animal Cells to supplement our science textbook. (We have enough of these books to share with a partner.)
Later this week I will be publishing our January newsletter with lots of news for the new year. As a heads up until then, next Wednesday the entire school will be celebrating "Frozen Fun Day!" If you would like to help out, we may need some volunteers to send in hot chocolate supplies or other "Frozen" goodies. We may also need volunteers to help with activities. Please let me know if you can help! Students are encouraged to dress up as their favorite Frozen character or to wear their favorite winter pajamas.
Tonight's homework:
*Work on AM, especially if you have an "old" practice or exercise or if you didn't meet your goal last term
*Write spelling in ABC order.
*Begin vocabulary sentences (due Thursday).
Later this week:
*Math Unit 3 (Decimals) Test Thursday
*Write your spelling words with the opposite hand (due Fri.).
*Character and Me essay due by Monday
