Welcome Back!

Happy New Year! I hope all of our Room 21 families had a relaxing and fun Winter Break. I hope, as well, that students are coming back ready to hit the ground running for our new year.

We are starting new units in Science and Math and we are continuing work on the novel Walk Two Moons in Reading.

In Science, we'll be spending the next few weeks studying the solar system. We'll discuss models of the solar system, how accurate they are, how accurate they should be and we'll learn lots about the objects that make up our local galactic neighborhood.

In Math, we'll take the work we've done so far with fractions and translate that into multiplying fractions by whole numbers and by other fractions. We'll explore different ways to approach these problems and find a way that works for each student.

I'm super excited to be back at work and look forward to a focused start to the New Year.
