Announcements
A huge thank you to everyone who helped with the room parties this year! I know the students had a blast and appreciate all the treats and activities. A special thank you to Nicole Flood-Lorber for volunteering to be our room parent coordinator this year and making sure our parties went off without a hitch!
Here are some pictures from our Valentine's Day Exchange!
As noted on the calendar, we will be going on a field trip to the Rock Bridge High School Planetarium on Thursday. We will leave Paxton around 9:00 and will return in time for lunch and recess. Parent volunteers are not needed for this field trip.
As this was our last official Parent Teacher Conference, please let me know if you would like to meet again before the end of the school year.
Friday folders and Weekly Journals were not sent home this week. They will both resume next week.
In the Classroom
In math this week, we continued studying multiplication. Students learned about using a multiplication/division diagram to help with word problems, we talked about larger factors like 5x12, and we explored what parentheses in math mean. Students played a game called Top It to increase their multiplication fact power! We will assess over this unit next week.
We have been working very hard to complete our non-fiction books! With the snow day and late start, we were set back a little, but almost everyone has finished. We will begin our next unit, Opinion writing, on Tuesday.
In reading this week, students worked on writing non-fiction summaries. We learned how to use the main ideas and supporting details to do this.
In Social Studies, we started our next unit covering economics. We discussed what that term means to us as citizens of Columbia. Finally, we discussed the idea of goods and services.
