Writing:

This week the students listened to and discussed the story Snowflake Bentley. As a class they worked to organize their ideas to respond to the prompt: Describe what Snowflake Bentley learned about snowflakes. Together as a class, the students wrote a paragraph with a topic sentence, 3 pieces of information and an ending sentence.

Social Studies Update:

Our Studies Weekly Magazine focused on the human characteristics of a place. Then, we created a city which contained these human characteristics: houses, roads and bridges, buildings and recreation areas. Each student created at least one human characteristic to add to our city. Our Amazeworks book for the week was Night Job.

Things To Know:

DODGE NATURE CENTER: On February 4, we will be going to Dodge to learn about birds. Our class will leave Somerset at 8:45 and return by 10:30. Please let me know if you would like to chaperone on this trip!

CONFERENCES: Mark your calendars--winter conferences are just around the corner--January 29 and February 3 from 3 - 8:30. Sign ups will be coming soon!

MATH JOURNAL: In your child’s Take Home Folder is the Math Journal they have been using for Units 1 - 6. While the students completed many pages in this book, there are many others I do not assign. Feel free to use these pages for extra practice at home. The books do not need to be returned.
