Owl News - Week of Dec 4th

This Week  Both Math groups are finishing up double digit addition  work for Chapter 4.  We read the article of “African American Inventors.”  Reading groups started new stories.  We also read about caves this week and did a fun reindeer math activity.  We have continued to practice our penmanship handwriting with Mrs. Watts and it has been a challenge to carry it over to our regular work.  In Science, we looked at properties of liquids and sorted different liquids based on their properties.   

Next Week  We will finish Chapter 4 in Math, taking our test on Friday.  In ELA/Reading, we will read the “Alvin Ailey Kids” story.  We will do another science activity with turning a solid into a liquid.  It will be a fun one!    We will also begin some fun seasonal projects.  Some will be a surprise – so no clues here!
