Happy New Year! Welcome back to a new year and back to school after our nice long Christmas break. We even had an extra day off due to our extremely cold start to the year! Now that we are back into the swing of things, we started our new chapter in math on temperature and time. We are working on "Quarter to", "Quarter after", "Half past" and "O'clock". We are also working on elapsed time and just telling time in general. We'll still be reviewing money and adding/subtracting with regrouping. In grammar we are now working on linking/helping verbs and the proper use of quotation marks. For reading and science, our theme is Recycling/Conservation. We just took a science test on conserving natural resources and in reading our last story was a nonfiction piece on how recycling works. We even did a recycling project! The students were asked to recycle something from home and make it into something new to share with us at school. It was really neat to see all the creative ways the kids came up with to recycle common household items. For writing we did a craftivity where we wrote our New Year Goals. We are also going to continue working on our cursive handwriting!
