Friday

This week we have been finishing up our science and reading units. In reading students finished up Unit 3. They took their Weekly Assessment and completed a Theme Assessment. This also included a writing component. We reviewed antonyms, synonyms and homophones. They also reviewed past tense and present tense.
In addition students are beginning to work on a president's report using the new online World Book Encyclopedia. They find answers to questions and write them on index cards. Once this is done they will write a report on their president.This incorporates writing, research, and technology skills.
In math this week students worked on multiples of 2 and division.
In science students studied the phases of the moon and took the weather quizzes.
We will finish up a short unit on the water cycle next week.
Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Mass will be at 10:00.
Thursday is Valentine's Day. I sent home a class list so valentines can be addressed.They will be passed out after lunch.

Reminder no school on Monday, February 18.
