Homework:
4th Grade Math: Division with remainders and multiplication facts (priority is the division page - do this first)
5th Grade Math: Math packet

Wordly Wise: Please work on WW Lesson 10 for 15-20 minutes.
Biographies: Students can continue to work on their biography notes at home, but this is optional if they have already finished reading their biography book.

Biography Project Update:  In class tomorrow we will give a big push to complete as many index cards with information as possible.  Our next step is to begin organizing the information to write the essay.  On Friday we will discuss the Home Project and provide ideas for the students. 

Reminder:
The Berkeley School Annual Student Art Show is this Thursday, February 28th from 6-8pm. Students aged 2-14 years old will be showing their work that they've completed in the arts program at TBS.

Writing Workshop:
Today we had the chance to finish our moments in time on the computers. We worked on revising and editing our moments to make them as descriptive and polished as possible!

Reading Workshop:
To continue our work on making connections, we listened to the song "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin and read the lyrical book, which is paired with art by Alexander Calder. We practiced making text-text, text-self, and text-world connections as a group and then in our own independent reading.

Buddy Day:
We partnered with our buddies today in a series of relay games!







We got to spend some time with our very own classroom baby, Autumn Roberts. It's great to see how big she is getting and all the new tricks she has learned!
