This Friday we will be celebrating Jump Rope for Heart from 11:00-12:00. We will then, celebrate Valentine's Day in our room by exchanging valentines, watching a movie, and eating our "friendship" trail mix.  If you would like to donate a small snack for the friendship trail mix, we would greatly appreciate it. As a reminder, we do have a tree nut allergy in the room and  we would appreciate labels visible somewhere for these students to check! 

We have 23 students in our class, if your child will be participating in passing out valentines. 

Emira, Althea, Ben, Otis, Jrue, Max, Courtney, Emmy, Sophia, Rylie, Ella, Gavin, Ryan H., Ethan,
Layla, Carson, Jack, Anthony, Olivia, Alex, Hayden, Ryan W. Joey

Science:  We are beginning our unit on force and motion. Lesson one's objective is "What is Force?"

Writing:  We are publishing our second memoir!! We will celebrate our class's amazing  authors this Wednesday. 

Math:  We are busy working on multiplying and dividing fractions this week! Students are not just learning the steps, they are learning how to show visually with models in order to truly understand the algorithm. See the below video we watched in class to really understand fraction multiplication! Our unit test on chapters 8,9, and 10 will be next Friday, Feb. 19th. 


Reading: We are wrapping up our author study. We will be celebrating by writing blog posts that we admired and sharing our thoughts about our books. As well as making podcast about why their author is the best.
