This Week In Room 20

We are entering the last week of February!

It is amazing how quickly time is going!

This week we will be starting a new unit in Language Arts. The theme is THE POWER OF WORDS! Our readings will address this theme for approximately the next 6 weeks.

This week we will focus on making inferences.

This week in Math, we will continue to focus on fractions. We are delving in deep and understanding how to explain what fractions are, how they relate to each other, and where they fall on a number line. Any practice students can get at home is very beneficial.

In Science we are finishing up open and closed circuits and will begin the Physical Science Unit very soon!

In Social Studies, we are focusing on the missions, taking into consideration the opposing point of views of the Spanish and the Indians. 

OUR CLASS PLAY, 

GEOLOGY ROCKS

will be presented on

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9th

7:00 PM

(Students need to arrive by 6:30)

We need 100% commitment! Please let me know by email that your child, and hopefully your family, can be there!

It is an event you don't want to miss!

Also let me know if you would like to help with the costumes or the backdrop.

This week is Peace Corps Week 2014. As I am sure you know, my daughter, Hailey is serving in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia. She was presented with a challenge to create a video about what she wishes Americans knew about her country! Of course, Room 20 students are SUPER EXCITED about this!

Please take 2 minutes to let her share the beautiful culture with you. The more views, the better her chances to win prizes and recognition for her work in the Peace Corps, so watch it twice and share it with your friends! 

Thanks!

Our field trip to the California Science Center is this Wednesday, February 26th!

Please bring a sack lunch and a drink. 

Leave money, electronics, cell phones, and backpacks at home!
