NEWS: It’s almost visiting author time! Author and illustrator
Henry Cole will visit us on Thursday, Feb. 2, during our Mixon-Fincher Young
Author and Illustrator week. See signed papers for an orange flyer
telling you more about his visit and the opportunity to pre-order an
autographed Henry Cole book. **Forms/money are due by Thursday, Jan. 19
for pre-ordered books.**
Our 3rd quarter AR goal is set! (See note in today's papers.) Each student should pass at least 6 AR tests before the end of the quarter on March 8. This should include one biography and one chapter book. These books must be pre-approved by your student's teacher. Remaining books are student's choice.
MULTIPLICATION TIMED TEST EVERY TUESDAY!
Unit 6 explores the relationships of 2-D figures with line segments, rays and lines, as well as the geometric figures that can be made from them. We are identifying polygons, triangles and quadrangles by counting sides and distinguishing angles.
We have begun a sweet story in reading called The Hundred Dresses. It is a wonderful old story about the hurtfulness of making unfair judgments. It reminds us all to follow the “golden rule” and to be kind and compassionate to everyone.
In Social Studies we have begun a fun unit on Native Americans in North America. We will study the heritage, customs, shelters, etc. of several different tribes.
In Science we will begin investigating States of Matter - solids, liquids, and gases. So fun!
