First Post of 2012

Happy New Year!

We have started this year off on a great foot! The students got right back in the groove like they were just off for a weekend! Here is what we have to look forward to in each subject:

Reading: We will be studying penguins and Antarctica in our reading for the next two weeks. We will do some shared reading, independent reading, and small group reading. Check out the site on Antarctica under the Science links in the right margin.

Writing: The kids are coming home to interview parents to get some final details on the Slice of Life picture they brought in. Tomorrow, we will use our organizer to write our first draft.

Word Study: Word Wall test this week will be on Thursday, next week it will be on Friday. Word Sort test will be next week on Thursday.

Math: We are taking the test over chapter 5 (2D and 3D shapes) on Thursday. Next week, we begin Unit 6.

Science: We will begin our study of the Water Cycle next week.

Social Studies: We will study our country's government (local, state, and federal).

Also, as a reminder - there is no school this Friday (Teacher Work Day) or next Monday (MLK Jr. Day). Report cards go home NEXT Friday (Jan. 20).
