Next Week:

Reading – Our mini lessons will focus on the skill of main idea. We will also continue with guided reading groups and stations.

Writing – We are going to work on developing characters in our writing. Each student will write a character sketch.

Math – Our class will continue a unit on division. We have learned the traditional method of dividing and will also learn a method called Partial Sums Algorithm. Here is a video link of the method: http://www.csd.k12.nh.us/~lstua/Parents/VIP%20Partial%20Quotients.doc

Social Studies: For the next several weeks we will be learning about early Missouri History, Lewis and Clark, and westward expansion.

This and That
• The snow make up days are January 18th and February 15th. Originally these were holidays on the calendar. Due to last week’s missed days we WILL attend school on those two days.
• February 12th is a half day

Student of the Week: Bailey G. was our student of the week. Today she shared her dislikes and likes with our class. It was fun to hear about her puppy and her love of HGTV and Food Network! (a girl after my own heart!)
