How nice it is to be back today!  After some unexpected time off, it felt great to be back with the class.  We started our day working on ordering decimals.  Students are encouraged to utilize what they know about place value and our base ten number system to order decimals from least to greatest.  Ask your child to tell you about their sorting activity.

We enjoyed our second cultural arts performance today.  We had a wonderful story teller who exposed us to several fables and myths.  He did a great job of including the audience and embarrassing a few of our teachers.  Ask your child to tell you more!

We dove deeper into poetry today, examining figurative language, meter, rhythm, rhyme, and over all theme.  Students discovered that poetry can vary greatly and is left to interpretation.

Thank you to those who brought their science projects in today.  Please bring them tomorrow.

We have rescheduled our explorations from last week to this coming Friday.  Students will be going to the exploration that they signed up for on Tuesday of last week.

Looking ahead:  We have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us as we work to complete our standards for term 4 in a shortened amount of time.  It is important that students are at school on time every day.  Thank you so much for your assistance!

Stay tuned for more information regarding a Wax History Museum for Black History month.  Information will be coming home very soon.

Homework: Read for 30 minutes, spelling
