Friday Update

Hi Parents,

I just wanted to write and inform you of what’s happening right now at school and what’s coming up!

In writing right now, we are finishing up our personal essays. The students chose a topic they have an opinion about and they are using mini-narratives from their lives to prove their opinion. The students have created opinion statements and proved them very well.  Their introductions and conclusions look great!  We are going to publish these next week.

In math, we just finished up our unit on multi-digit multiplication. We are going to continue reviewing this throughout the year. On Wednesday we started our unit on division. If you are wondering how we’ll be doing division, check out our math page on the blog for Unit 7: Multi-digit Division. There are is a movie there with one method of division. I am going to create one or two more with other forms of division.

The students are loving their current study of science. This week they dissected owl pellets with Mr. Kooiker and found a ton of bones from animals that were owl dinner.  🙂

The Valentine’s Day party is coming on February 14 from 2:30 – 3:30 in the classroom. All are invited to attend.

The Lansing trip to the capitol building is February 27, and all parents are invited to attend.  Please see this post for more details on that trip.

That’s all for now! Have a great weekend and play in the snow a lot!
