Math News
We continue working on Geometry this week. Our focus will be on how shapes transform or move. You can help at home by asking your child to show you a rotation, translation, and a reflection!

Writing News
       For the past several weeks we have been working on Paragraph of the Week in which your child is given on topic to write about and they spend the week creating a strong paragraph that will be graded. I have noticed that the struggle for them in the topic and conclusion sentence. We will be spending more time this week really focusing on those areas. You can help at home by pointing out topic sentences in everyday reading.

Social Studies News
       Last week we really dug into what it was like to travel from England to Jamestown in 1607. 


     This week, we are will be discussing the hardships colonists faced once they began life in Jamestown. Look in the Monday folder for the Save The Date notice!


Genius Hour
       This past week, your children really enjoyed the instant challenge of making the longest paper chain with one piece of paper. I am proud to say that the entire class was able to participate due to good choices and hard work throughout the week! WAY TO GO CLASS!! I hope this becomes a tradition.
