A Big Bite

Happy New Year!! Despite the cold and the need to be indoors this week, our first week back from vacation has been productive and quick!  We are starting new units of study in math (fractions), word study (adjectives) and poetry (weather poems).  We finished learning about weather maps and took an open book/notes quiz on Friday.  In reader's workshop we started a new interactive read aloud called Snow Treasure, by Marie McSwigan. We are focusing on new reading skills and strategies in this historical fiction/adventure novel.  Next week, we will learn about regions in a country as we start our study of the United States and will begin to learn about water in the atmosphere.  As always, Dance Party Friday was a hit!  
Have a great weekend!
