February

The month of February has come and gone in no time. The students have been very busy and are looking forward to spring.

In social studies we have had a few areas of focus. The students have been following the Olympics and each picked a country to highlight and learn about. Ask your child what their country is. We also spent time with Galleon. The students have reached the New World and are ready to bring the gold back to Spain, except for those pesky English Privateers, they are set on taking the gold from the Spanish Galleon ships. The students are using latitude and longitude to navigate back across the ocean.

In Reading/Language Arts the students continue to build stamina in Read to Self, Read to Someone, Word Work, and Work on Writing. We have also started new strategy groups reading Suspense/Adventure books. Ask your child what their book is about.

In math students have been working on fractions, money, and geometry.
