English: We will continue to work in Unit 5. This week writing abbreviations and book titles correctly. In writing we will work on What Makes Me Smile.
Science: Our focus this week is the Moon; what are the phases of the Moon; what is it like on the Moon, and what are lunar and solar eclipses. We will simulate the phases of the Moon and solar and lunar eclipses in our classroom. We will also view a video called All About the Moon. We will have a Moon phases quiz on Monday, February 22.
Math: This week we will finish up Chapter 11 and learning the rest of our basic division facts. We will practice the 7’s, 8’s, and 9’s this week as well as continue with practicing our extended response problem solving skills. Most of the children are doing very well with their basic multiplication and division facts. Practice at home every night for 10-15 minutes is necessary for mastery of the basic facts. We will take the Chapter 11 test on Friday, February 19.

We will spend this week at the beginning of this book reading some interesting articles, skill building, and working on related comprehension and writing strategies. The Illustrators and Authors will have a Spelllng test on Friday.
