Social Studies- The social studies test is on Friday. Students have what they need to study and an email was sent out with a preparation guide. We will also begin week's 12 and 13.
Reading- We have been discussing how a person's perspective can influence their opinion. We have specifically discussed how this is true for the leaders and people during the American Revolution and after.
Writing- Our writing goes along with Social Studies and Reading. The students will begin brainstorming for their historical writing this week. I will walk through the writing process as they look at the American Revolution and how to write a compelling essay.
Black History Month Poetry Cafe- The students have received information on the Poetry cafe we will have on February 27 that will highlight African-American poets. I need to adjust the time of the cafe. It states that the cafe will be from 8:00-9:00am, however, that is right during our specials. The cafe instead will be from 9am-10am on Feb. 27. Posters are due February 26.
Parents if you would like to attend the cafe and/or bring in snacks for us to share afterwards, you are more than welcome to come and enjoy the cafe.
Due to the Social Studies test and the math quiz, there will not be a spelling test this Friday. However, if you would like to get ahead, here are the words for the week of 2/11:
Federalist
Government
Among
Brought
Compare
Develop
Either
Simple
Together
State
Thursday Music Performance
This is just a friendly reminder about the music performance this Thursday at Life Church. Students are expected to be at the church by 6:15pm with their recorders. See you there!
Tissues
Thank you all for continuing to support the class and our needs. Unfortunately, we are out of tissues again. I have found that my girls like to use the tissues for making tie dye designs. I have explained to them that this causes us to use resources unnecessarily. If you would like to send in class tissues, I would appreciate it. However, if you just want to supply your child with tissues to keep in their book bag, I completely understand. Either is fine by me.
Valentine's Day
If your child would like to bring in Valentine's Day cards/candy, they are more than welcome to do so. The only thing that I ask is that you bring them in for all 26 of our students and not just a select group. I will send home our class list by Friday.

Read Across America
Let’s
Celebrate Read Across America Week!
Each
year, schools across the country celebrate Read Across America week during the last
week in February, or the first week of March. This date was chosen because
beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss was born on March 2.
This year, our school is going to do something extra fun
to join this special celebration of reading! Each day will have a theme to
correspond to a Dr. Seuss book title. Students may dress according to each
day’s theme. Be creative and have fun!
