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.

WELCOME BACK

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Break. We are beginning the second half of the school year, and I am excited about what is to come. Have a great week!
