This week the students will be doing a lot with writing. We are really trying to get these guys geared up for next year and all of the writing they will be expected to do.
Language Arts
Working with the myth theme we have been studying, studens will create their own myth. This will take all of this week as students go through the writing process. They will also have one reading exercise.
Math
We will continue to work on fractions as we introduce the students to fractions on a number line. Please continue to work with your student at home.
We are moving on from Science and into Social Studies. The students will learn the basic structure of a community. We are going to be learning about local government. Expect some homework in this arena.
Don't forget there is an early release this Wednesday. Students will be dismissed at 12:45.
On Friday, we will be having our Valentine Party. You may go ahead and send in non-perishable items. The students will be making their banana splits, and looking at their valentines from their friends.
