Christmas Break is OVER and we are starting the new year off strong! We have started reading a new book - "The Cricket in Times Square!" Students are working hard on this unit and learning new vocabulary, identifying and describing settings, and comparing and contrasting characters. I love the book so far!!
Stem Lab is now in our daily schedule! The students are really enjoying this hands on experience! 3D Dinosaurs, Magnets, The Human Body..... So exciting!!!
We have also started learning about fractions. Fractions will be the main focus of our math instruction for the next few weeks. Please make sure you are studying the new math concepts as well as the old ones. Students are realizing that knowing their multiplication & division facts is really important when finding equivalent fractions.

So glad we are doing so well this new year!
