February 25 - March 2
Wow, can you believe that February is coming to a close? Here is a look at the week ahead.
In reading this week, we will continue reading Mr. Tucket as a class. Along with this, students will be defining vocabulary, making summaries and connections, and identifying point of view and the theme of Mr. Tucket.
We will wrap up the social studies unit on Missouri becoming a state. The test will be on Wednesday, February 28th. A new science unit will start on Thursday. This unit's focus will be on Natural Resources.
In math, students will continue to learn about decimals. We will practice displaying fractions as decimals and vice versa. One of our main objectives this week will be comparing and ordering decimals.
Previously in writing, we have been focusing on character development and using plot diagrams to plan out narrative stories. This week, students will begin drafting and revising their narratives!
Since we had multiple days off last week, the List 16 spelling test will be on Friday, March 2nd.
We are extending the AR deadline to March 14th since the quarter has been extended.
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a great week!

February 19-23
Happy President's Day! We are in school today to help make up our snow days earlier, rather than later. Here is a look at our week ahead:
In math, we will continue our work with decimals. Students seem to have a really good grasp on the concept. We will look closer at problem solving, comparing and ordering, and adding decimalsbefore our test. We plan on a test next Friday, March 2.
In social studies, students will look deeper at Missouri becoming a state, and all of the amazing pieces of history that our state holds. We will have a test on Friday, February 23.
Writing allows students more time to look into writing narratives. We will ask students to look deeper into their word choice. Drafting of their own narratives will begin this week.
As a reminder, quarterly book projects are due on March 2. That means that the end of the quarter is near! Make sure your child is working on reading their independent reading books and working towards 100% of their goals!

We hope that you and your family had a wonderful weekend! Here is a look at the week ahead.
In math, we will be wrapping up the fractions unit with a test on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday, we will begin a new unit on decimals. To kick of this unit, students will explore using place-value charts and grids to model decimals and describe tenths as part of the base-ten system.
In writing, students will begin brainstorming ideas in order to begin writing a narrative piece. Toward the end of the week, students will begin to flesh out their events and plot on a plot diagram.
Reading this week, will be focused on Point of View. Students will be looking at various examples of the three different Points of View and then determine which Point of View each example is written in.
In science, we will be conducting experiments and discussing Plate Tectonics and Topographical maps. On Friday, we will finish up this science unit with a test.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a great week!
