Happy New Year!!

Here is what our class is doing in the new year:

Math: Students are memorizing their math facts. Deb Hopkins will be coming in every Thursday to quiz students on their facts. Students are also adding and subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers with borrowing and regrouping. A word problem is being added to students' daily morning calendar work.

Reading: Students are working in their reading groups to read a fiction and nonfiction text on their reading level every 2 weeks. Reading groups are expected to present information learned from nonfiction selections to the class during project presentations.

Writing: Students are working on fiction writing.

Social Studies: We are partnering up with teaching artists from the Light Factory to create a documentary featuring Charlotte: past, present, future.

Science: We are continuing to work with Staci from Reedy Creek in our ecosystem study. Students will also be learning how cameras work to capture an image.
