Happy New Year!

Welcome back! I hope that everyone had a happy and healthy holiday break home with their families. It was so great to come back and hear about all of the exciting things that everyone did over the break.
Math: We have been focusing on decimals and fractions. The children are also very thrilled about starting our timed multiplication tests.
Language Arts: We have just started a story in our anthologies about Chinese New year called, “ Chin Chiang and the Dragon’s Dance”. We have been working on creating good leads to stories. We discussed how important it is becuase it helps grab the attention of the reader.
Science: We are finishing working on Simple machines and will be taking the test next week.
Social Studies: We are looking forward to learning about Michigan history for the remainder of the school year.
Computer Lab: The children had a fun time playing math baseball and race car math on the website, www.funbrain.com

Thank you again for all of the kind gifts are cards at the holidays. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!
