Good evening!
Last week we were very busy with exciting visitors and even a field trip! This week we have another field trip to the Lied Center to hear the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra! We will be going Wednesday afternoon right after lunch and should return to school about 2:30. Our class has worked hard and earned another class reward. This time the students voted for a pajama day. Mr. Nelson has given the okay and congratulates us on our hard work. Students can wear pajamas to school on Thursday, Feb 18th. There should be no slippers. The pajamas should still follow our other dress code rules at Lakeview. I would recommend sending a sweat shirt or jacket along too because our classroom can by chilly at times and pajamas are sometimes more thin.
Here are the weekly objectives:
Math
We will continue learning about Fractions this week. This will include equivalent fractions and fractions in simplest form. There will be homework on Wednesday even though we have a field trip.
Reading
Spelling words will come home tomorrow and the test will be on Friday even though it is a 4 day week. Our stories this week are all realistic fiction. Our skills will be: character, setting, plot, problem and solution, figurative language, visualization, grammar – adjectives, and spelling closed syllables in words. Our essential question is: In what ways do people show they care about each other? New Scholastic will come home tomorrow and be due on Friday. Also a book report is due on the 29th the genre is Biography.
Writing
We continue to work on and learn how to write persuasive essays. Your child will be selecting a topic this week to write a persuasive essay about.
Unit Studies
We begin a new rotation this week. Our class will start Health with Mr. Fink.
