Week of January 4-7

The students had a great first week back. In Language Arts, the students wrote about what they did over the break. Some of the students expressed that they played with new toys, went on vacation, and watched lots of TV! They are in the process of editing their writings so that they can share with their peers. We also had a great time reviewing punctuation, capitalization, grammar, antonyms, synonyms, homonyms, and plurals! Our Explode the Code for the week focused on the blends –sw, -tw, and –st. Our featured story for the week was Harry and Willy and Carrothead. The students really enjoyed this story about children who are born different. In Math, some of the students learned about fractions, numbers to 100, and money concepts.
