Team News: Week of January 27-31

This week:  We started Unit 4, Working Together, in Literacy.  Our first story was an excerpt from A Cricket in Times Square.  We focused on the theme of friendship.  In Math, we began learning about equivalent fractions.  We learned that you can multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number to make an equivalent fraction.  We worked A LOT on our multicultural night projects.  The slide show presentations were unbelievably good.  I am so proud of all the kids!  Thank you to all the families who came to Multicultural Night!

Next Week:  In Literacy, we will read a nonfiction story called “The Life and Times of the Ant.”  In Math, we will continue learning about equivalent fractions and begin comparing fractions.  Hopefully we will be ready for the unit test on Friday.  We also begin Science!  Our first unit is Life Science and we will be learning about classifying living things.
