We earned a pizza party for turning in the most Box Tops. We will enjoy a pizza lunch on Friday. Thank you PTO!
Friday is our Valentine's Day party. Parents who are running the party can come by 1:15. Our party begins from 1:30-2:15! If your child would like to bring in Valentines to pass out, there will be a time in the morning to do this.

English
We've done a great job learning about expository writing. We've learned how to write an introduction paragraph using a hook for our attention getter, stating our opinion and previewing our support. We will continue with expository writing and working on transitions and focus on writing the body. In addition, we will be finishing up unit 5 on Adjectives and Adverbs. We will learn about the difference between to, two, and too. Students will take a review on adverbs on Tuesday and a Unit Review on Wednesday. The test is scheduled for Friday 2/13.
Reading
Mulan has been postponed. We finished up Stone Fox by working on a flap book in Stone Fox while watching the movie version Stone Fox. We then compared and contrasted the book to the movie. We will hold off on Mulan for another week and do some beginning activities on inferences. We will then read Mulan to practice inferencing skills the following week. There still will not be a vocab test on Mulan.
