Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks. We are concluding our Solar System study. In the photos, we are finishing up our presentation posters that we will be sharing with third grade, during Science Week. The Oldie Goldie book sale is on Feb. 24th. Please look through your collections and send unwanted or outdated books to school. Remember your trash and overstocks could be someone elses' treasure.
Remember to choose a character from your favorite book and come dressed up to school on Tuesday, February 21st. We will share our characters at town meeting.
Our Spelling focus this week is long o silent e. _ome, _ope, _ode, _ose
Robust vocab: congregate, cheerful, asserted, offended, retorted, congenial
We will focus our social studies on America's symbols and map skills throughout the remainder of February.
In Math, we are working on equivalent names and fact families.
Writer's Workshop is focusing on writing more to the middle of stories, by adding purple strips of paper where needed.
In Reader's Workshop we are drawing conclusions from the text. We are inferring. Even though things are not said or described in the text, we can figure out what is happening.
Remember: No school for students on Friday or Monday.
Have a great week. We will!
