Hello families,

The past few weeks have been a whirlwind! If you haven’t done so yet, please sign up here for Family-Teacher Conferences next Wednesday, January 29th or Thursday, January 30th. This link was also sent directly to you via email. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your student’s progress together! Remember there is no school Monday, January 20th, in observation of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

This week, we are starting to learn about dividing fractions in math. In ELA we are going to be testing our ability to draw inferences about a text, and finding evidence in the text to support those inferences. We will be reading about people who effectuated positive change, including Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, and Rosa Parks. Finally, in science, we are learning about the difference between chemical and physical changes of matter.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Warmly,
Mrs. Shaw
