4th Grade Math: No assignment tonight. We are beginning a big project this week designing a "dream house." This assignment will go home each night to continue on.
5th Grade Math: Mon. Class and Mon. Homework (2 pages)
Cultural Studies & Reading: Write responses to the 5 questions about the Story of Nancy Gooch and the Monroes. Write answers in sentence form, and be sure to check capitalization and spelling of names.
Reading: 20 minutes/night (Nancy Gooch reading qualifies)
Reminders:
Friendship Week: Strawberry will be celebrating friendship week with an activity called "secret pals." Since we have already had "secret Santas" and the appreciation card project, this activity will look a bit different. The students will be assigned a classmate on Monday, and a new classmate on Wednesday. In the classroom we will have a card making station. The kids do not need to make items at home, but are welcome to. There are no gifts or candy in this activity, just friendly cards and thoughtful gestures during the day.
Valentines' Day in Strawberry - Thursday, February 13: We will exchange Valentine Cards in Strawberry on Thursday. This is an optional activity. If your child decides to participate he or she must give a card to every Strawberry student. At TBS, candy may not be part of a Valentine. Thanks for understanding.
Don't forget, Friday there is no school.
Today in Strawberry: Today we began friendship week. Each student has a secret pal they are creating cards for and making friendly gestures.
Fish Bowl: During Reading Workshop we held a fish bowl discussion. One reading group met and held a discussion about By the Great Horn Spoon while the other students observed in a horseshoe shape. After the discussion the audience shared about what they noticed, gave appreciations and ideas to help with discussions in the future.
