Starting our day the right way....lots of love..........and candy!

There is just one thing missing from our Valentine Extravaganza, and that is our Becca!  We miss you, Becca!  It is just not the same thing today without you!  Here is how we feel!

Becca, what vocabulary word is the class feeling without you?   ________________________

Let's Support the USA!

Let's have some fun during the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics!  What a perfect time to learn about the culture of South Korea, as well as about the Winter Olympics.  The girls are going to watch a little of the Olympics every night at home and keep track of which countries receive medals.  They are also going to get to know some of the athletes from the United States, as well as other countries, so let's get ready for some great fun during the next two weeks.  So much learning can take place during this wonderful global event! We are going to incorporate math with history, geography, writing, and sports!


Speaking of math, these girls are getting ready to round up a highly compelling unit of fractions. Honestly, they are doing fifth and sixth grade work, and they are doing it well.  Along with the computation, they are doing a lot of problem solving using the bar model method, and they are getting so much better. They still need to read carefully and figure out what the actual question is.  Don't worry!  They are getting lots of practice.  You have seen their work, so you know what I am talking about.


Valentine's Day 

is here!  Too much fun in one week!  The girls are making Valentine's boxes at home and we are making Valentines tomorrow with a party on Wednesday...such good old fun passing Valentines out to all of our classmates in the class!  We'll write some clever rhymes, and the girls will also interview you on your own love stories!  Come on!  Spill the beans!
