We are starting our new unit in literacy, American Idol. We will be learning about biographies and famous people. We will be doing many activities with this unit, such as timelines and using graphic organizers to help them organize information they have learned.

In math, we are wrapping up our multiplication and division unit. We will Pretest Unit 3 on Thursday. We will review on Monday, Jan. 30 and take the Post Test on Tuesday, Jan. 31.

We will have our weekly test on Thursday since we don't have school on Friday. The high-frequency words this week are: picture, being, study, soon.

In writing, we are writing a persuasive letter to Ms. Neitzel about why we need Student Playground Ambassadors. The students will work together to come up with reasons why they think we need them and why the third graders would be good ambassadors.

Happy Birthday to Lillie on January 24!

PLD on Friday, Jan. 27 so there is no school that day.
