Week of January 18

Can you believe it is already the 3rd week of January?? This year is already flying by! 
 
This week we are focusing on comparing and contrasting with expository texts. In math we are finishing up chapter 9 and moving on to chapter 10 which is "How can fractions be used to represent numbers and their parts" In science we will be covering animal adaptions and continuing to learn about American landmarks in Social Studies. 
 
Goals for this week are: AR goal is 9 points by Friday with 85% accuracy and 3 blue ribbons on Study Island. 
 
Our field trip is coming up soon! Permission slips will be in folders today.

We are also in the works of having an open house for February. A sign up for time slot will be coming soon. Times are a first come, first serve. We will be discussing FSA which is coming in April among other things as we finish up the end of the 3rd grade year.
