Happy New Year! I hope you had time to rest and relax with family and friends over the holidays. We will start back at school tomorrow (Tuesday.)
*Students can continue to leave snow clothes at school throughout the week and take them home on the weekends if that works for you and your family. However, as a reminder if the wind chill is not over 20 degrees, we won't go out for recess. Fingers crossed that we may get out later on this week!

*Throughout the Winter, we will not visit our 4th grade Book Buddies at Crisafulli because of the weather. Over the past several years, we've found it too difficult to travel during the winter months due to snow on the trail and cold weather. Therefore, we will begin writing letters to our book buddies over the course of the next few weeks. First graders will begin a new writing unit, Opinion Writing shortly. Part of this unit is to learn to write a letter. We will tie this into our correspondence with our Book Buddies.
*There will be no spelling list this week. Spelling will start back up next week.
*In Math, we will begin the 5th unit of Everyday Math 2. Our focus this week will be on place value. We will use base 10 blocks and coins to study the ones and tens places.
*In Science, we will continue our study of Light and Sound. This week, we'll how light is blocked, goes through or is reflected using different materials.
*In Writing, we continue to edit stories for punctuation, spelling and adding details. We will transition to Opinion Writing mid-month.
Looking Ahead:
Monday, January 15th- No School MLK Jr. Day
Tuesday, January 16th- No School- Professional Development
