This week...

This week, we are continuing with our Math unit on graphing. We are also continuing our lesson on Matter in Science, and the Cherokee and Creek Indians for Social Studies. I am enjoying reading the students' writing assignments in Language, and they are working very hard in Reading. Students will be allowed to check out books at the end of the week, as well as take AR tests. We are very excited about that. Thanks for visiting our page!

Welcome Back

I hope everyone had a relaxing four-day weekend. We will be working extra hard on this short week, so we will keep you posted on our activities. Also, remember that next week our class will be swimming at the YMCA. Have a wonderful week.

SWIMMING

Our class will be participating in the YES (Youth Education and Swiming) Program, sponsored by the Liberty County YMCA on the week of FEBRUARY 22-26. I will be sending home further details as the date gets closer.

February is Black History Month

During part of our Social Studies block, we will be learning about famous African Americans this month. The class is already excited, and have begun to share some interesting facts they have already learned. We will keep you posted on the blog about the many wonderful things we are learning!

Math songs.

We are currently working on 2 and 3 digit addition with regrouping in math. (See our addition song below.) Also, there is a video of the song we learned during our fraction unit. Have a wonderful weekend.
