MLK and Contractions

Our studies of Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and work have really made an impact on the students. Their projects were wonderful. I can tell they really did their best. In class we came up with words to descibe Dr. King. The students came up with 30 adjectives! They created portraits of Dr. King and themselves and told about his and their dreams.

We are working on identifying and writing contractions as well as using them correctly in sentences. We played games, sang songs, and  practiced this week. We will continue next week as well.

Next Friday, January 24 is the 100th. day of school. Please have your child count out 100 pieces of any item from the note sent home in their agenda. We will add them all up and enjoy a delicious snack.

Our new addition strategy is called Partial Sums. The students love this strategy. They are catching on quickly.
