January 30

Good morning! We reviewed main idea and learned a lot about groundhogs this week in Language Arts. We continue to learn how to subtract with regrouping, and we will take our Social Studies test today.

We will work on the following next week:

Language Arts: spelling compound words, abbreviations, root words, and cause/effect. We will also begin our persuasive letter writing unit in Writing Workshop.

Math: We will learn how to double borrow when subtracting, and we will review for our unit test. The test will be on Friday, February 6.

We will begin our next unit Science, and we will focus on the three states of matter next week (liquid, solid, gas).

Important dates:
Our book reports are due February 3. Please have your child dress up as their famous person on this day if he/she is planning to do so.

Read at Home Logs are due February 2. Your child should be reading for at least 15 minutes each night as part of his/her homework to help maintain and reinforce skills.

Spirit Day is Tuesday, February 2. The theme is "New Jersey". Wear something that represents our great state (college shirt, sports team, business, etc.) or wear school colors.

Our homework for the week is as follows:
Monday: 3 times each, math sheet 6.9
Tuesday: ABC order, math sheet 6.10
Wednesday: spelling sentences, study for math test

Remember to work on your book report and fill in your reading log each night.
