Dear Parents,

I would like to thank all of the parents who joined us for our field trip to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Tuesday. It was a great success.  We couldn’t do it without you!

Thank you to our room parents, as well as all who helped out with the Valentine’s party. The kids had a great time and felt very loved.

Literacy:
Students are working on reading and writing informational/explanatory texts.  This week students wrote an informational piece about what they learned at the Denver of Nature and Science and some finished a piece about the challenges of living in Alaska during the winter.  Next week, we will continue to practice writing to a prompt using student Chromebooks.

 Math:
We started Unit 6, Geometry, this week. In this unit students will be learning about the attributes of quadrilaterals and how to find area and perimeter of geometric shapes.
Please continue to practice math facts!

Social Studies:
We are working on a study of the regions of the United States.  This week we explored landforms. Next week, we will work on developing map skills.

Friday Folders were not sent home today and will resume next Friday.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Sincerely, 
Mrs. Galt
