This week will be our first full week back this year so far.  We have already had a couple of non-school days due to the low temperature outside.  I'm excited to get back into our normal routine of things. We will now be going to school on President's Day to make up for one of our snow days.

This week we do have one early out on Wednesday.   We will be getting out at noon. However, if you are looking for something to do on that same day after school, it will also be Club Fun Day from 12-5 pm. 

This week's learning targets;

in Reading- The Paperboy by Dav Pilkey to work on visualizing the author's words, vocabulary routine, fade, expert, and flap, -ed endings and their different sounds.

in Writing- "Let's Get a Pup," said Kate by Bob Graham Sheila Rae the Brave by Kevin Henkes to work on how to add more details and look at how authors use them to write longer pieces of writing, also working on commas in a series, and giving effective feedback.

in Math- rewriting 2 digit subtraction problems, using addition to check subtraction through buddy check, and problem-solving with 2 step word problems.

in Science- Rocks: Hard, Soft, Smooth, and Rough by Natalie Rosinsky, using lenses to look at rocks, creating a pet rock, and erosion.
