Classroom Newsletter February 21, 2012

This Week

I hope that everyone had an enjoyable President’s Day weekend.  This week marks the beginning of the season of Lent.  Join us Wednesday at 8:30 for a special Ash Wednesday chapel service lead by Pastor Henry.  Last week, you should have received a letter from me about how to help with our open house in honor of the 150th anniversary.  Please help your child choose a project to contribute to our 1980’s theme.  I am still in need of pictures of Solomon students from the 1980s.  Let me know if you have any I can borrow.

Reading/Creative Writing

This week we are finishing unit four.  We will tie up some loose ends and review some of the more difficult concepts.  Skills we are working on this week include realism and fantasy, sequencing and main idea/details.  In preparation for next week’s parent teacher conferences we will have an oral reading assessment on Thursday and a unit test on Thursday.

Phonics/Language

This week we are reviewing adjectives.  Our sound of the week is the “kn” and “mb” sound.  We will review that the k and b are silent letters.

Math

We are starting a new chapter on fractions.  We will review what a fraction is and explore fractions as parts of a whole and parts of a collection.

This Week’s Assignments
