Classroom Updates for 2/11/19

Hello parents!

Just FYI, I will give students the names of students for Valentine's day on Monday.  We had a busy Friday and forgot to give it them.  We do, however, have 26 students. 

Writing- we are continuing to develop our informational essays centered around the American Revolution. We have created our tree map to get our ideas down and a few students have started writing their rough drafts.  This is classwork, so students will not come home with this as an assignment.  We will also discuss subject predicates and compound sentences.

Reading- We are deep into understanding how a person's perspective can shape their opinions and why we need to respect the opinions of others.  We are doing so through the American Revolution.

Social Studies- We will begin discussing slavery this week, but it is just a preview leading up to our second to last unit for the year. 

Math- We will begin adding and subtracting mixed numbers.  The kids did VERY well with adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators. 

Spelling- I gave the spelling words to you in the last post and the students have the words in their agendas.

Don't forget, we will have an author visit on Friday. 

For Valentine's students should bring a box to collect their cards/candy.  They are more than welcome to decorate their boxes.  They should bring them on Thursday and not before them (we are limited on storage).

Supplies:  If any of you would like to donate tissues, I would greatly appreciate it.

Progress reports will go out on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Bruner
