Families,

It feels great to be back and we were able to pick up right where we left off! We do have a new class goal (getting our snacks from our lockers quietly), a new chapter book for our end of the day read aloud, and started our Voracious Reader awards today. Here are some things to be aware of for our learning next week and our month ahead:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• As we get back into the swing of things, I wanted to remind you that library is on MONDAY, “Baggie Books” are due TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, and homework is due on THURSDAY. Please have your child continue working on Xtra Math at home!
• We will take some time Monday afternoon to learn about and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. in honor of MLK day.
• Our Tarry Hall Skating Party will take place on Tuesday, January 16th at 6:30p.m.
• We will have Popcorn Friday on Friday, January 26th.

Reading: As we continue through our non-fiction unit, we will learn about the big idea of a text (headings), sharing those big ideas with a partner, identifying tricky words, and reading our texts with a news reporter voice.

Writing: We will finish up our persuasive writing unit with a “cold write” and by the end of the week we will start our new unit on “how to” writing (ex: how to tie your shoes).

Math: As we continue through unit 4 we will focus on

Spelling: Our Spelling words for the week are: from, I, have, jump

Enjoy your weekend! For those basketball fans, GO GREEN :)!
