Week of January 27:

  I hope everyone had a nice weekend and has enjoyed this sunshine.  I’m looking forward to some warmer weather this week, with the hope that recess will be outside every day.  We definitely need that time to run around and unwind.  

In ELA, we are continuing our study of the American Revolution, focusing on perspectives and the two main sides of the revolution.  We will work on writing an essay this week using evidence organizers.  Our spelling words this week have the long /o/ sound created by the vowel teams oa and oe. 

In Math, we are learning about angles. 

In Social Studies, we are learning about the Midwest Region of the United States. 

In Science, we are learning about light and vision, and we’ll use a computer simulation to demonstrate how an animal uses light to see it’s prey. 

**It’s hard to believe we are coming up on our next holiday/class party.  I will send home info about our Valentine’s Day party this week, including a class list to use for students to use when preparing their valentines. 

We are also about six weeks away from the IAR test, and we’ll begin preparing a little bit each day so the students will feel confident and prepared when it is time to take the test. 

We’re going to have a great full week.  Keep #ChoosingKIND, 4B! I’m always proud of the way you interact with one another. 

Love,

Mrs. B
