Happy Weekend and Happy February!

Here is what we were up to this week in room 35 ...

Science: We learned about the properties of matter, mixtures, solutions, and compounds by doing science stations!  The class favorite seemed to be making SeeSaw videos to show their learning! 

Reading:  We wrapped up our fantasy unit by discussing how characters often have complex personalities, symbolism, and allegories.   We are looking forward to starting our argument unit next week.

Writing:  We finished up our literary essays by editing and revising this week.  We enjoyed having a chance to read peer's essays on Friday.  We are going to start a fantasy writing unit next week.

Math:  This week we added and subtracted mixed numbers.  We had to use strategies we learned in our last chapter to help us do this.  We will have a review day on Monday and our Chapter 8/9 Test will be on Tuesday!

Social Studies:  We started our next chapter focused on the industrial revolutions.  We even got to participate in a real assembly line activity!

**BIG NEWS**

Our 1-1 Chromebooks are arriving this week!  We are so excited to take this step and feel privileged to have this opportunity.  We have outlined a constitution for these new pieces of technology and look forward to all of the awesome experiences to come!  


Upcoming Events:
2/7: Early Release (1:40 dismissal)
2/9: Jump Rope for Heart & Counselor's Day

Have a great weekend!

Sincerely,

Meredith Holtmann
