Happy New Year everyone! The first week back is always a bit slow as we are all trying to get back into the routine.  We have been wrapping up three units: Measurement, Procedural Writing, and Energy.  We will be starting new units next week.  In math, we will be working on 2 and 3 dimensional shapes and figures, letter writing in our Language Program, and The Local Community for Social Studies.  As a wrap up to Measurement, the students and I had individual conferences as their assessment piece.  The students are currently making their final copies for their procedures and will have the opportunity to take them home next week.  We ended our Energy unit with electricity and power failures.  As a kick off to our new math unit, the students used geoboards to identity different 2D shapes.  Please continue to read and retell books with your child.  Ask them what happened in the beginning, middle, and end.
