We have now begun the third nine weeks. Students did not have a reading log last week due to computer updates at our school. However, this week students will have their reading logs and should be back to reading and logging in every night for homework. Students should be sharing these logs and having them signed nightly. If you are not seeing them please ask them what they are reading and what is happening in their chosen book.
Reading
We will wrap up our read aloud Gifted Hands. Ask your child what they learned from reading this book. We will begin an adventure studying the Oregon Trail. Students spent last nine weeks learning about the beginning of our country and the American Revolution so now we will continue and watch and learn about our country expanding across the continent. Ask your child each day what they are leaning about our great country.
Writing
Students are going to wrap up functional writing this week and then begin informational writing. They will choose a person they would like to learn more about and complete a research paper on that person. I will send home details next week.
Dates to remember:
February 13....................Marine Science Field Trip

February 17....................Presidents' Day Holiday-No School
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
