Happy Friday, everyone!
Here's what we've been up to...
Science: We've been learning about the solar system and the difference between the inner and outer planets. The kiddos have been working on reading about each of the planets and creating a foldable to showcase their new learning!
Math: We have been working on finding the least common multiple and greatest common factor for 2 or 3 numbers. We've also spent time learning how to convert a fraction into a decimal and then into a percent. Today we practiced working backward!
Writing: We started reading short stories and taking notes for our second literary essay. The kids are analyzing a short text and then pulling out lessons that the character and text teach. They will then be using their notes to assemble a literary essay next week.
Reading: We have continued our work in fantasy book clubs. We have been studying our characters and how their problems and choices help us learn more about them. The kids are loving this fantasy unit and are really into our read aloud-- Narnia!
Special Announcements:
1. Jump rope for heart packets are coming home today with kiddos so please check their backpacks!
2. We started D.A.R.E. this week and the kids loved it! I think it is going to be a very fun second half of the year!
Upcoming Events:
1/ 25: Early Release (wear your Flyer Family shirt)
1/27: Family Bingo (6:30pm)
I hope that you have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Holtmann
