February 1-5

We finally got outside for recess. Last week was tough when we did not get a chance to get some fresh air, but this week was great.

The students have been using social studies time to prepare for student led conferences. For those of you I saw on Thursday night thank you for coming. The kids did a tremendous job!! I am looking forward to seeing the rest of you on Tuesday.

During Writer's Workshop students are working on fictional writing. We talked about how authors take real life events and turn them into stories. We also discussed the different genres of writing.

At Language Arts time the students have been working on our Daily 4. We also have started to add the CAFE, this stands for comprehension, accuracy, fluency, and expand vocabulary. The students have a new strategy for comprehension and accuracy, ask your child about these.

Math continues to focus on fractions, decimals, greatest common factors, and least common multiplies.

Have a great weekend!!!!!
