Reading

We have been reading non fiction text in the month of January.  The students are working on information that is important versus information that is interesting.  They read a passage on Martin Luther King and had collaborative discussion about what information was important.  They did a great job!

Matter

Mr. Prazar has been visiting us on Thursday.  He is teaching us all about matter and the water cycle.
Ask your child which activity they have liked best!
