Looking ahead to the week of February 5 (Week A)

Calling all BookMEN!  Please join us for lunch Friday, February 2, in the Seaside Cafe at 11:35!  We look forward to seeing you!



Students are enjoying our fraction unit!  They've been working on beating their class time, while playing a game called, "Fraction Domino."  It's a great way to practice visualizing fractions (and using the LIFESKILL of cooperation, too).




Hi, families! I hope you all are having a great week!

Valentine's Day:  As you know, Valentine's Day is Wednesday, February 14.  Since we only have two celebrations a year (winter and end-of-the-year), we will not have a party.  Students may bring in Valentine's Day cards for each of their classmates (but it's not a requirement!).  We have 18 students in our class.  Please do not write a name in the "to" section on the card.  Doing so, allows us to pass out the cards in a more efficient manner.  Also, please do not send in any unhealthy items.  You can review our Health Committee recommendations for healthy snacks below. 




BookMEN:  We will be celebrating the 100th day of school Friday, February 2!  Time sure does fly by, when you're having fun!  We encourage BookMEN to join us for lunch in the Seaside Cafe at 11:35!

State House "Being There Experience":  If you have not signed and returned your child's State House permission form, please do so by Thursday, February 1.  Be sure to jot down which lunch option you choose for your child, so you'll know whether or not to pack a lunch Tuesday, February 20.  

Report Cards:  You may keep your child's report card and comments, but please sign and return the report card sleeve!

Looking ahead to next week:  As historians, students will wrap up their American Revolution unit.   As mathematicians, they will continue learning about fractions with the second half of our module.  We will be using the Engage New York curriculum for this unit, so please see the family letter below, as well as, the link for further information for families about Engage New York, toward the bottom of our class blog.  As readers, students will study theme.  As writers, they will take the district writing assessment.  They will also review how to summarize and start reading American Revolutionary biographies, in preparation for their in-class group projects the following week. 




Thank you again for all of your support!  Have a great weekend!
