Keep Collecting Facts!!

Technology, Technology, Technology...
This week for our Language Arts activities we will:
  • Learn how to find a pre-copied picture that has been saved into a document. We will retreive this picture (copy) and insert it (paste) into our research document with five facts. We will manipulate the facts and the picture and center it in the document. When we are ready, we will save the document and then print it out so we can use it as part of our research assignment.
  • Complete an Inspiration Web of information about our selected animal.
  • Use the Promethean Board to discover facts about President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln.
  • Review five parts of an informal letter (then we will reply to our Pen Pals in Couer d'Alene, Idaho).

We Love Math---Keep saying it

We started learning basic multiplication rules last week and we will continue learning memory tricks to help us with our multiplication facts. Keep on Mathin'!

We also started our new unit on Data Collection: Use of graphs, tables, line plots, picture graphs, etc... This always seems to be a fun unit for the students. Keep up the good math work!!

Culmination of the ARCTIC UNIT

We will wrap up the Arctic Unit this Thursday and take an assessment on the information we have learned. Next week we will begin six-weeks of science--YIPEE!!
