Monday, January 9th

Happy Monday!

We had an incredibly busy day!

We are so excited to have Ms. Lillian Monroe with us!  Today was her first day in our classroom as she completes her Master's Degree.  She has been with CSD for 12 years and is a great addition to our class!

Students continued their inquiry into fractions by decomposing fractions into their unit parts and using that to determine fractional equivalence.  Students used tape diagrams to model equivalent fractions.  Homework tonight supports our strategy.

We continued our exploration of poetry by examining the mood of poems.  Students heard two stories and determined worked to interpret the author's mood in the story by giving evidence.  We then inquired into the mood in the books the we are reading.  Students were charged to determine the mood in their own reading, providing evidence to support the thinking.  We added these to the board.

Don't forget that we are beginning to track and reward classes who have limited to no tardies.  Please ensure that your child arrives to school on time each day.

We are preparing for our Village Gathering on Friday.  Our class will be hosting, along with Mr. Luke's and Mrs. Clark's classes.  We hope you can join us at 8:00!

¡Saludos F.AVE familias!

Welcome back from Winter Break!  As you know, Spanish classes were assessed over Listening and Writing before we went on break.  Please watch for graded assessments in the red Communication folder.  Re-take opportunities for students that received a one on either assessment will take place January 9 – 13.  Looking ahead, we have begun Term Four!  For extra, at-home review, please visit our Quizlet page and practice Term Four activities:


¡Gracias!
