The unit 5 math test has been returned to your child. Please look over the test and review anything that may be an issue with your child. We will continue to work on the elapsed time questions, which seemed to give many kids problems.
Due to the bus strike, many class trips have been cancelled throughout the city. We are still on for Wyckoff Farm house but that nay change if the strike isn't resolved.
Here's what to expect for next week:
- We are beginning our writing unit on Literary Essays. By now, students have experience with the essay format. The new challenge is to write effectively about a story they have read. This will go beyond retelling. The essay will focus on themes and interpretation of stories as well as telling how the themes of the story connect to our world.
- It's week two of the Readathon! Students have been told daily how many minutes to log in for school reading. Please remind your child to log in the time spent reading at home.
- I will be at a Teachers College Workshop on Tuesday. There will be a substitute teacher for Tuesday.
Have a cozy weekend! Happy Lunar New Year!
