We had an awesome first week of the new year! We started off our week by writing and sharing about our holiday break. Here's the scoop on what we accomplished this week...
Writing: We worked on informational writing in our journals and reflected on a 2015-2016 New Year's Resolution writing project. They are currently being displayed in the hallway for others to enjoy.
Language Arts / Social Studies: We continued with our integrated colonization reading and simulation. We put our annotating skills to use this week with our non-fiction reading. The class is LOVING our simulation. Be sure to ask your child how many of their colonies ships made it to the New World.
During language arts we are also completing the district wide NWEA testing. This week we took math tests on the computer. Next week we will be taking reading.
A HUGE THANK YOU for the wonderful auction items before break as well as the Gingerbread items. Everyone enjoyed both of these fun activities.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I really enjoy reading your blogs, but never know when to check them and therefore miss several. Is there any way when you write a new blog you can send a quick email to the class even just with the subject "new blog posted" and maybe the link to the blog? I appreciate the time you take to write the blogs and hate to miss them. Thanks.
