Week 18: Happy New Year!

Our first full week of 2014 ended with a great activity led by Mrs. Soans. Students were challenged to use their emotional intelligence to interpret some social interactions. This activity helped our students understand the different feelings people have and how these feelings might lead a person to act. In addition to being an important life lesson, this activity was fun!

Here's what to expect for next week:

• We are wrapping up our work with Historical Fiction Book clubs on Friday. Please look through your house to see if there are any books that need to be returned soon and have your child bring them to class. 
• There will be a math test for Unit 5 on Tuesday! It was a brief unit and the work on factors and multiples will help launch our next unit on Equivalent Fractions and Fraction Comparison. There will be a study sheet given out on Monday. 

The Unit 4 test was given shortly before Winter Break and your child has the test for you to look over. There will be more classwork with the division topic as some children are only beginning to secure the process in their minds. While many students have the multiplication facts down, most children would benefit from reviewing division facts. Please use the Division Game link on our blog to get in some practice; set the highest number to 12 so that your child can practice division facts mentally.

Have a wonderful weekend!
