Friday, February 12 will be our Valentine's Day celebration! We will be having Jump Rope for Heart from 11-12. Following Jump Rope, we will have our class Valentine exchange and then lunch. After lunch we will share a friendship trail mix and watch a movie to celebrate!
If you would like your child to exchange Valentines, please see the class list below. We have 23 students.
If you would like to donate a small snack for the friendship trail mix, we would greatly appreciate it. As a reminder, we do have a nut allergy in the room.
Thank you so much!

Next up, persuasive argument essays!
Math- We are busy working on multiplying and dividing fractions this week! Students are not just learning the steps, they are learning how to show visually with models in order to truly understand the algorithm. I couldn't be prouder of the math discussions we have each day! See the below video we watched in class to really understand fraction multiplication! Our Fractions Unit Test covering ch. 8-10 will be Friday, Feb. 19th.
Reading- This week we are wrapping up our author studies. We are finding parts of our books that truly spoke to us and writing about our thoughts and making connections across texts by the same author. We will share these thoughts and ideas in a new blog coming soon!
