Announcements

Parent Teacher Conference Week is already next week! Please let me know if you do not know your scheduled day/time or need to reschedule.

The students had a wonderful time sharing their Valentine cards with each other!

We were also able to complete our Valentine's craft!

On Wednesday, our class went to the Planetarium at Rock Bridge High School. We saw a show about the planets and learned about constellations we can see from our backyard!

On Friday, we had the opportunity to visit the Traveling Trunk Show from the Boone County History and Culture Center! The students loved listening to our guests speak about Boone County, Columbia, and what life was like long ago.

In the Classroom

In math this week, we focused on solving number models that contained parentheses. We also played a math game called Multiplication Top It. Students can access this game and many others from a device at home by going to the CPS homepage and logging into their portal.

In reading this week, students learned about famous African American figures. Students used EPIC books to complete biography reports about people that interested them. We shared our biographies with each other at the end of the week!

Students continued revising and editing their non-fiction pieces this week. While I do not think we will be able to complete them for conferences next week, I will send them home as soon as they are completed!

In our force unit this week, we talked more about pushes and pulls. We also learned about balanced vs. unbalanced forces. Students are working on an interactive bulletin board about forces being all around us.
