Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and restful break! Happy New Year 2012!
In today's Wednesday folder you will find a form for Puberty Night. If you would like to attend, please respond by Friday. The girls' puberty night is at 6:15 on January 12 and the boys' puberty night will be at 7:15 on January 12.
Aside from a facts quiz, there will be no tests this week. However, we will be starting lots of new units!
Here is what we're learning in class:
Social Studies: I will become "king" this week as we begin learning about the tensions that led to the Revolutionary War. The students will get to live life as a colonist dealing with taxation without representation. It should be fun!
Math: Over the next couple of weeks we will continue learning about fractions as well as exploring data analysis with line plots and stem-and-leaf plots.
Word Study: Our focus this week is commas. The kids are having a lot of trouble knowing when and how to use commas so we will be learning the rules and practicing. I found a great website that has all of the rules on it which you and your child may use for extra practice http://www.towson.edu/ows/modulecomma.htm.
Writing: The final touches on our second open genre unit are happening now and next week we will begin a unit on opinion writing.
Reading: The kids are excited to be kicking off our second round of literature circles with a focus on BOB books.
I think that charging people extra if they don't finish their food at a restraunt is a good idea if the money goes to charity.
