This past week week we jumped right back into the swing of things. We began to learn our division facts in Math, and began an opinion writing piece in Language Arts. We finished our energy lessons in Science and tested on it, and then started learning about light. We also finished learning about the body systems in Health.
This week we will continue learning division facts, and will be testing on it on Friday. We will be moving on in the rest of our lessons as we'll. You may have noticed that the class is now writing in cursive. Cursive books should have been finished by Winter Break. All work should be written in cursive now, except for math. At first it will take them longer to get work done, but the more they practice, the quicker they will get.
I also would like parents to know that I have told the class they may no longer bring the loom bands to school any longer. If they have made something at home, they may wear it, but may no longer make them at school. They were becoming a big distraction during class time, causing arguments, and taking up time designated for learning. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact me.
Finally, I want to make you aware that the Unit Project is due in 2 weeks. Students should have already chosen who they are doing their report on, and all should have the poster paper I had given them for their thinking map. I went over how to do each one with the class. Let me know if you have any questions or need help.
