January 30-February 3, 2017

We had a great week last week! We enjoyed beautiful weather at the beginning of the week and a nice cool down at the end!

Reminders:
Monday (1/30):  Reading Homework will come home
Tuesday (1/31): Tuesday folders will come home. 
Wednesday (2/1): Library Check-out
Thursday (2/2):  Counseling Lesson with Ms. Amiri
Friday (2/3): Reading Homework is DUE

This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We are learning that a Researchers job involves reading information from sources and recording new things we learn.  So our Reading and Writing Workshops will flow together for the next two weeks.  We will be investigating a topic as a class.  We will find sources to read from such as books, PebbleGo, Explora, Epic and many more.  We will jot down things we are learning so we can teach someone about our topic.  Last week our class choose to investigate Animal Habitats. 

*Just a note...
We will begin our mid-year Reading Assessments this week.  Reading Homework will be a bit different during this time because I will not be meeting with the students as groups.  I will include more information next week!

This week in Math...
We will be reviewing place value, comparing numbers with words and symbols and finding patterns in numbers.  We will also be completing some quick assessments during the week before we wrap up this unit.

This week in Science...
We will be learning about Weather.  We will record the weather daily.  We will learn all about why we have different types of weather and how wind changes our weather.

Have a great week!
