Weekly Update

The countdown is on!  Two weeks left of school until spring break!  Ms. Miller and I have been really proud of how hard the students have been working these last few weeks.  We are not slowing down as we are trying to keep the momentum going right up until the break.  So far the students are tracking along with us!  We also have only two class points needed for a party.  I think there is a good chance that they will be able to earn their party before the break!

Here is a snapshot of what we have been doing this week:

Social Studies: We got to hear about every family’s immigration story this week. WOW! What an incredible experience. Our world map got filled up with yarn, modes of transportation and labels for our countries of origin. Thank you for for sharing your stories with your children, it is obvious that this was a huge area of interest to this group.

Art: Our Dana Irving trees are really sprucing up our walls. Enjoy the pictures.

Math:  Students have done very well learning about algebraic equations.  They started with learning how to solve for the unknown with a t-chart and then looking for patterns in pictures.  We will continue working on this next week.

Writing:  Students completed their SuperHero persuasive writing piece and we will begin a unit on comparison writing next week.

Bible:  We are continuing with our unit on Promises of God.  This week we looked at prayer and we will look at what the Bible promises us when we are afraid.

Science:  We did a variety of experiments where we learned the difference between solutes and solvents, concentrated and diluted solutions.

A few things to note:

Storybook Character Day on March 10th:  We have a fun dress up day during the last week of school!  As this may need some additional planning, we wanted to get this out to you right away.

French Quiz came home today.  Please take a look over it and let me know if you have any questions.
