Weekly Update

We are still collecting JUNK for our Invention Convention which will be held in early February to celebrate the birthday of Thomas Edison. Thank you so much to everyone who has already sent in a bunch of recyclables. Please keep them coming!
We have been learning about Martin Luther King Jr. in Social Studies and will wrap up that unit this week with a virtual tour of his childhood home and a post-assessment.
Last week we did a MLK webquest using iPads and created timelines based on classroom research.
This week in Math we will continue to practice the multiplication facts. We will also be practicing CML problem solving strategies and techniques in preparation for our first CML meet.

In Language Arts we will continue our Frindle literature study. Students seem to be enjoying the book and we will continue doing activities incorporating all of the levels thinking. Also in Language Arts we will begin a poetry unit. Students will practice rhyming words and learn various styles of poetry including Haiku, Limerick and Cinquain.
