February 3 - 7

Are you enjoying this cold wintery weather that we've been having? Well, whether you have or not, get ready for some more. It looks as if we might have a snow day (or 2) in our near future.

UPDATE!!!!!
International Festival:  Our International Festival and Taste Fest were schedeuled for this Thursday; however, because of some bad weather coming into the area resulting in possible snow days, the students will need more time with the music teacher to prepare for their program.  The program, and all related activities, have been re-scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 26th. Please plan to send food for the Taste Fest on that day instead.  

Spelling: The students were supposed to take their next spelling test this Friday, however, I am going to reschedule that as well, to Tuesday, Feb. 11. This will give us a little more classtime to practice and study the list.  Kids can practice the vocabulary by clicking on the following link.

They can also practice the list on spelling city here:   https://www.spellingcity.com/view-spelling-list.html?listId=16438068

Math: We completed fractions today with a review and a test. I had planned on giving the test tomorrow but after spending time reviewing with them, I did not want them to have to wait a few days to take the test.  I decided to have them take it today while it was all still fresh in their minds.
We will be learning about polygons next.

Reading: With the Winter Olympics beginning this weekend, I have a few articles in which the students will read to help them learn more about it. The Olympics ties in perfectly with our International Festival study. As the kids learn about the Olympics they get to see and hear more about different countries around the world. 

Read to Feed Update from Mrs. Luschen:  February 9th is the last day for students to read and record their minutes. On Monday, February 10th students will need to total their reading minutes and collect their pledges from their sponsors. Students will have until February 20th to collect and return their pledge money to school.
