*Science: We are continuing to work on animals, studying mammals and birds this week.
*Social Studies: The students did a fantastic job on their culture day presentations. It was so fun and interesting to learn more about each other and our diverse cultures. The treats shared by many students were delicious. Thank you for making the presentations a success! The chapter 3 test will be on Monday, 2/4. We will take a break from social studies as we focus on science for the next week or so. Our next unit will be map skills.
*Reading: We finished our unit on summarizing. The students did a great job either writing a summary or drawing a cartoon series that summarized the stories they read. We will work in our Illinois workbook lesson 5 next week.
* English: The students are doing a great job writing their friendly letters. Some of the letters are already in the mail and the rest will go out on Monday. Next the students will pick a famous person to write to. Last year we even got mail back from our favorite celebrities!
*Spelling: This week is list 19: words spelled with "or". There will be no pretest this week and the final test will be on Friday.
