Hello Parents,
In the classroom, we have been exploring Folktales of figures such as Paul Bunyan. Students have been learning to retell stories, including key details to demonstrate their understanding of the lessons of the story. Students are learning to compare and contrast these adventures of characters in stories as well.
Over the break you may consider exploring some Folktales at home. Ask your child to retell the story in their own word. What were some of the details that he or she remember from the story. Have them write their own Folktale or draw one in sets of pictures!
Below is a website where you can find Folktales. Enjoy and have fun! And enjoy your break.

High Museum of Art
We had a great time at the High on Friday! We learned about the Jon Eric Riis' artwork and collaborated to create our own bug pictures, Howard Finster's artwork and created some mosaics in sand, and the elements of art creating our own water color picture.
Thank you Dr. Casey for making this trip happen!! It was so much fun we were all worn out on our way home.

Hello February!
We are kicking off a new month and learning many new things!
This week we are focusing on:
Reading - We are talking about using context clues to determine meanings of multiple meaning words.
Writing - We are sharing our opinions in our writing. We are finishing up our writing about whether we want it to be spring soon or winter longer and moving into book reviews.
Math - Double digit plus and minus single digit addition and subtraction is our main focus. Building numbers in base ten and composing and decomposing tens to help us solve the problem.
Social Studies - We are learning about Harriet Tubman and the contributions she made for our country.
Don't forget to read every night and practice your sight words! :)
