MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

AHHHH....We made it through the first semester of school!! 

We have been working hard and learning lots of skills in our classroom.  During the Christmas break, I hope everyone gets rested and recharged for more learning and fun during the second semester of school. 

When we return to school, we will be working on fractions, percentages, ratios and proportions, and geometry in math.  We will continue with writing prompts and grammar skills in English.  Your child will be involved in timed readings in order to boost their reading skills and improve their comprehension. 

If you would like to visit our classroom, please feel free to come by any time you want.  You will get to see how we learn and what we are all about! 

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!!!

Happenings in our classroom:

In reading, we have been reading "Don't Get Mad, Get Even".  This is a suspenseful story and we are eager to see how it ends.  We have been answering comprehension questions and doing various activities as we read. 

In math, we are adding fractions with like and unlike denominators.  Ask your students to show you the "Across, Up, Up" method. 

In English, we are learning all about paragraphs, sentences, and organizing our writing.  The students have a daily writing prompt they answer in paragraph form.  I am enjoying reading their writings because they cover a wide range of topics.  Your children are creative, funny, and sometimes very opinionated in their writings!  :-) 

Christmas is right around the corner, but let's make sure we keep the students motivated to learn.  They all know they can come see me before school, suring their break, or after school.  If they need any help or you have any questions feel free to contact me.  Your childs success is very important!!!
