Monday

Happy New Year! Welcome back!
Today we eased back into the routine. In math, it's time to get back to practicing math facts, including multiplication 5's, 2's, and 10's, on IXL.com. In class, students began a new unit on mass using kilograms, grams, ounces and pounds.
In language, we talked about making new year's resolutions and they wrote their own.
They also wrote a short story about being stuck in a snow globe. This will be a project they will be working on for a couple of days.
In science, I read students a story about Winston Bentley, "Snowflake Bentley". He was famous for studying and photographing all kinds of snowflakes. Then students made paper snowflakes.
Students did go to Atrium. Those that stayed back worked on their American history timelines by adding the Pilgrims and Independence Day.

I did send out sign up geniuses for Art and Atrium. If for some reason you did not receive an invitation, please let me know. I did send it out twice to make sure everyone got at least one.
