January 2-3

Welcome back! I hope that you all had a wonderful, relaxing break. Time to get back into the swing of things as we head into the new year. 

In MUR...
We will be spending the first few days back starting a new test taking unit that will teach students multiple strategies on how to take a test. We will be continuing this unit through next week. 
There is no spelling homework this week, but we will have it assigned on Monday, January 6th. 

In MUM...
This week we will be starting the geometry strand, specifically angles. Students will start working with protractors to be able to measure the degrees of given angles. 

Please continue to work with your child on their basic facts at home. They are improving every day here at school, I am so pleased!

In History... 
My homeroom class is back with me for the next few weeks as we start the Dynasties of China unit. We will wrap up the unit on the 15th with a end of the unit test. 

In Writing... 
We will be continuing to work on writing descriptive paragraphs this week. 

Read Aloud...
We will be starting the book Hatchet this week.
