Happy New Year! I can't believe our break is over. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!

We are starting our new reading unit called Thinking Like a Scientist. We will be working on the main idea and details again. We will also be learning about disasters, such as Mount St. Helen.

In math, we are continuing to work on multiplication and division. We are also learning about area and perimeter, and working on solving word problems.

In writing, we will be writing a New Year's Resolution, a Thank You to the Lion's Club for donating dictionaries to our class, and finishing work on our bird reports.

We are starting our health unit, Human Growth and Development. A letter was sent home last month with information that will be covered.

Our high frequency words this week are; high, year, mother, light. Next week, words will not be sent home. We will be doing our mid year testing. This will help me see whether your child needs to be moved to a new group or stay where they are based on the different spelling stages.

Happy 1/2 Birthday on Tuesday to Titus!
Happy 1/2 Birthday on Thursday to Megan!
