Happy New Year to all of our Room 16 families! My apologies for not "wrapping up" our last week of 2014, but I was down with that nasty flu bug as I know many of you have been as well. Here's hoping for a healthy start to this new year!
We jumped right back into our routine today so you will be seeing our math Homework and Remembering pages for Unit 4 - Equations and Word Problems on a regular basis. In reading we are turning the corner from fiction to nonfiction text, and soon we will be writing nonfiction as well. Word Wisdom finds us in Unit 4 as well featuring "behavior" related words. Finally, in science we began looking at the concept of electricity. We have already had a discussion about the potential dangers of electricity, however, this might be a good topic to touch on at home as well.
Important Dates
MLK Day no school January 19
