Classroom News 1/30

Hello!

Billy was our STAR OF THE WEEK this week! Who knew we had our very own ventriloquist among us?! It was so exciting to learn of his hidden talent! We also got to see some cool pictures and trophies he brought in!

Math
We have officially entered the world of fractions! So far we've reviewed vocabulary, practiced naming fractions of sets and regions, and started adding fractions with like denominators. We will be working on fractions for a few weeks!

Reading
We finished our read-a-loud, Gregor the Overlander. The students LOVED it! You may have noticed an order form that came home to purchase one or all of the Underland Chronicles. If you have or would like to order one, I will be putting the order in next Thursday.
We practiced drawing our own conclusions based on clues from the text we were reading, as a comprehension strategy. We read a great story about a silly dog, Ike!

Special Request: 
I really need a few parents to come organize my class library. It needs some sort of labeling system and order that would be easy for the kids to follow when they choose and return books. If I have anyone willing to do this, please email me and let me know!

Reminders:
Gregor the Overlander orders due Thursday (2/6)
