Week: 1/19-1/23

Ahoy!

It is another busy week in room 204! As a class we are staying pretty healthy; however, this is not the case for a lot of Lacamas students! Please make sure the your kids are washing hands, and getting lots of sleep the bug going around is NASTY! Also remember that your child has to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school.

Reading: Working on finding what is most important in an article. Still learning about fresh water and the river system. We are also starting our Beverly Cleary book study this week. The students are very excited about this!

Writing: This week students are starting their presuasive writing pieces. This will be directly connected to what we are learning about in reading with our rivers unit. If your student brings home a final draft please return it the next day!

Math: We are continuing to look at multi digit addition and subtraction. Students are learning strategies to help with making this progress easier. I am seeing some huge improvements! :) Please keep practicing multiplication facts!

Science: Working on the water cycle and learning the different parts.
