Welcome back everyone!!! Thank you so much for everything in regards to international day! It was so nice to see the whole class come together as we explored Italy! I had a great time, and I hope you did too!   Please check out upcoming announcements:

1. I sent home a letter regarding poems! This is for an oral contest held at St. Jude’s every year! Each child received a poem yesterday, which they are expected to memorize for February 20^th, 2015!

2. Unit Math Test: Tuesday, January 27^th, 2015

3. Science Centre: Next Thursday, February 5^th, 2015! Please make sure students are dressed in their full St. Jude’s Uniform. It is much easier if students bring disposal bags and water bottles for their lunches.J

Today we took up the math review together as a class, and the students were able to ask any questions they had regarding this unit. Then they got use the rest of the time to study as I circulated the class.

This units test will be next Tuesday, January 27^th, 2015.

Unit of Inquiry

We began reading a book called “Hooray for Inventors”. We then brainstormed why inventions are important to us. The students then wrote a journal response as to why inventions are important to them (5 – 6 sentences with a picture)

Spelling

The students wrote the new spelling words 3 times from the board, along with their sentences. Then they practiced using these words in their spelling workbook.
