Classroom Chatter:



I sent home a list of all the students in our class for Valentines Day.

Remember, your child does not have to bring in a valentine, but if they do please bring one

for everyone in the class. The class went to our district Spelling Bee on Thursday and Emmanuelle did great!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Spelling:



This week our words will be Lesson 20, spelling words with -er.

The pretest is on Monday and the spelling test is on Friday .





English:



We will continue working on EXPOSITORY WRITING.

We will also work on EXTENDED RESPONSE.

We will talk about the difference and

get lots of practice using both styles.





Reading:



We finished our unit on Stone Fox.

We are writing an extended response to complete our unit. The students also enjoyed seeing
the movie Stone Fox. They all noticed the differences between what the book said and how the movie portrayed it. ( they have a great eye for detail!)

We also finished a FLIP BOOK which they will enjoy sharing with you.

We will begin our lesson on the Solar System.

What is the Solar system? What is an inner planet and an outer planet?

These are some of the questions we will answer this week.
