From the Teacher:
In math class this week, we will discuss some geometry skills found in Chapter 19. In the upcoming weeks, we will be introducing a lot of math skills in an effort to prepare the students for the next math benchmark assessment at the end of February. In Grammar this week, we will discuss Adjectives. This week we will continue to read and discuss Chapter 7 in our Communities books. Students received new reading logs for the month of January; these are due Friday, January 27th. There will be four full weeks on these reading logs, so we will be expecting a total of 240 minutes of reading for January. The completed January Math Calendars are also due on Friday, January 27th. For the month of January, we will be reading the book, My Mama Had a Dancing Heart by Libba Moore Gray and comparing and contrasting the characters in this story and the seasons of the year. If you have access to the Internet at home, you can research the author to learn more about her and her books.
