Announcements
We had a fun-filled, extra crazy, last week before Winter Break! I hope everyone has safe travels and a happy holiday. I am looking forward to time with family and friends both here and in Illinois.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the Holiday performance and Open House. The students did a wonderful job singing.

In the Classroom
We finished Unit 4 in math. We studied measurement, perimeter, and area. Students also explored polygons and their attributes.
In reading the last couple of week, students have been learning how to summarize a fiction text. We used our knowledge of story elements to make sure we included main characters, setting, and important events from the plot.
We worked hard these three weeks on our severe weather research project in writing. Students began by learning how to take notes on their topic. We used a variety of sources including both digital and text. Mrs. Hanson from the library even created a book mobile to keep in our room during the research portion of this project.
Once we had our notes, students were asked to create a poster that would teach others about their severe storm. They had to include non-fiction features such as headings, pictures, and captions. They all did a fabulous job!
To wrap up our weather unit in science, we talked about climate. Students created climate maps based on the average temperatures in different regions of the world.
We also talked about the impact of natural hazards and how humans and technology are working to lessen it. We will begin our Health unit after break.
