Dear Families,
I hope you are ready for some snow this weekend! I know my family is anxiously awaiting its arrival so we can get out and enjoy some good sledding finally! Also, don’t forget, no school Monday as we observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
In math this week your children have been continuing to learn strategies with multiplication and division facts. Miss Pouliot is doing an amazing job leading small groups through engaging activities. Don’t forget to be studying at home!
In science this week we found out if we could outrun a dinosaur. We learned about looking at animal tracks and analyzing them.
Writing is really coming along! We are working now on an informational piece of writing. They have chosen a topic that they can teach me about. We have learned how to create a logical table of contents. Within that table of contents they are now organizing their chapters. Each day we’re learning something a little more about the contents of the chapter. A lot of editing and revising to be done as we keep learning new strategies!
We learned about two new states this week - Virginia and West Virginia! Ask your child if they can recall a state nickname, capital or major waterway!
Next Wednesday we will have Dedham Pride Day. We will wear Dedham gear that you may have ordered, or school colors.
Please return the attached sheet regarding our Sweetheart Breakfast to be held on Thursday, February 14th. This will be our Valentine’s party and parents are invited to come eat with their children. I will need cooking volunteers as well if you’re available!
Have a wonderful weekend ~ stay warm and enjoy the snowfall! ~Mrs. Haulk
