Hello Parents and Students,
I hope this Blog finds you snuggled and warm and out of the cold weather today has brought. Although I was quietly hoping for the s word, I am glad we have school today. Your children are excelling in so many areas, I don't want to break their stride.Our short week within the classroom was lovely. We navigated the rest of our MAP testing showing incredible improvement and a surprising ease around the activity. The students surprised and delighted me with their efforts. Nice job class.
Also woven into our intricate week of study, students began rehearsing and blossoming in front of us as they started to embody their roles. Everyone has learned choreography and songs that tie so beautifully into our American History that it seems as if the text books have come to life. We continue to supplement their historical understanding and empathy as we read We were There too, a book of personal narratives about minorities throughout american history, and Everyday Edits an exercise on punctuation and grammar introducing prominent figures in America's past.
In addition to the students hearing personal narratives, this week and last, they have been knee deep in completing and publishing their own personal narrative using the writing process. Students have revised and edited, shared and revised again to produce a final draft of an exception story in their lives. I am looking forward to the moment they share their work with you.
To celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. this week students read a series of captions linked to photos capturing King's life on National Geographic for Kids. The students enjoyed making connections between King and Lincoln as they learned. As a class students also watched King's famous 'I Have a Dream' speech and Martin's Big Words a short film on his beliefs and ideas. Students were encouraged to find precepts to live by as they learned about Martin Luther King Jr., and then they were asked to create a self portrait of their character. We discussed judgments, stereotypes and ways people still segregate and diminish others. Students brainstormed and decided what content of their character they'd like to be judged by. Look for their self portraits and essays in the halls in the next week.

For science, encourage your child to be aware of the weather around them, what it looks like, feels like, and changes that lead to different weather. They will continue to look at clouds and learn about the instruments used to forecast weather, as well as how to read a weather map and what a scientist uses to create the weather map.Finally, in math students have been practicing fractions and their equivalents. They have thought about how an equivalent is different than doubling a fraction; how to find the percentage of 1/6 from 1/3; how to find the percentage equivalent of 1/8 from 1/4 and so on. Students are beginning to grasp how fractions, decimals and percentages are related and how to flow between the three. During rehearsal time and free time students have continued to develop their mathematician tendencies by working on Superstar Math. We will have our workshop on Monday due to MAP this week.

Shout outs: To our Romeo and Juliets who have been practicing every morning. Nice job Sania, Lanazia, and Julian. I'd like to congratulate Tj and Jonathon for getting their book talks done first. Great Job! Shout out to all our entrepreneurs (Tasty Treats and Cake Crafters.) I plan on having meetings with all our young bakers about some of the paperwork involved with a business. Finally, Happy Birthday Mrs. Sink! Giggles and Wiggles,
Mrs. Meeks
