Greetings:
I hope you had a nice weekend with your family!
Reminders:
*If you have not sent in the Feb 20th field trip permission slip, please send it in as soon as soon as possible.
*FOR MY HOMEROOM CLASS ONLY: Our class will need 4 parent chaperones to go on the Fernbank fieldtrip, Feb. 20. If you go, you will be in charge of a group of 5-6 students for the day. Please let me know if you're interested. :)
*Students brought home a permission slip last week with information about the Think First Stay Safe (personal safety) lesson. I have only received a handful of these back. You must return it indicating consent for your child to participate. I need it back even if you opt out. The deadline to opt out is Feb. 7th. If you have any questions about the program, you can email our counselor, Ms. Layton at [email protected].
This week in...
MATH
Blue group will begin Unit 2, adding and subtracting decimals. This is a very quick unit, and will only take about 2 weeks... a nice break from the very long Unit 1. :)
Purple group will begin unit 5, 2d figures. It's a fairly short unit. The standards focus on classifying 2 dimensional shapes into a hierarchy based on properties.
SCIENCE/SOCIAL STUDIES
Students will take the light/sound test Wednesday. Our test review will be Tuesday, although we reviewed last week also. We have been enjoying the instrument presentations! Very impressive!
We will begin our new Social Studies unit on Thusday, "Expanding the Nation - Moving West". Some of the topics we will cover include the War of 1812, the Lewis and Clark expedition, The Louisiana Purchase, and the Oregon trail.
If you have any questions, please email me.
Sincerely,
Nichole Bice :)
