"VIP of the Week" is Bradley. Students are encouraged to bring in something special to show the class, as well as to bring in pictures and/or a favorite book to share. We are finishing up our Math unit on measuring mass and will be starting Unit 10 on subtracting larger numbers. Students will be taking a break from spelling as we will not be having a spelling test this week. We will be concentrating on reading strategies and writing. When we start up our spelling the following week, students will be getting an additional day to study. In Social Studies, students are learning that the 13 colonies were divided into 3 regions and are learning to read a resource map. This will help students understand that one of the reasons that colonists came to America was for the abundance of natural resources. The students earned a popcorn party after receiving 30 ABC awards. Instead of a popcorn party, Mrs. Blakeslee will be eating lunch with students as well as dressing up in her winter gear and heading outside for recess. Wish me luck!
