Week 22

Family Friday was a great success thanks to you! Many of you came to help us with our lantern activity and were well prepared. Paper crafts can be tricky but the lanterns turned out beautifully. The kids were very proud of their work and we are grateful for your help!

Here's what to expect next week:

• Schools are closed on Monday due to the Lunar New Year. 
• On Tuesday, we are invited to watch the Fourth Grade's performance of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. 
• We have started a new math unit on Fractions this week. We spent most of the week understanding the concepts of the numerator and the denominator. To help support your child with this, there are games on the IXL Math Games link below that provide visual practice. Games W.1 to W.8 under the Understand Fractions section will be the most helpful. 
• We have also started our writing unit on Opinion Writing. Here we will learn how to make a claim about a topic we care about and convince others of its validity by providing supporting evidence. Students will present their case in a five paragraph essay.

Have a wonderful weekend!
