Peek at the Week of January 16-20

There is no school on Monday in honor of Martin Luther King. 

We had a great visit from Ioa from the Darien Nature Center last week.  It was a great way for us to see how animals move.

Reading Workshop:  We will continue to read and learn about non-fiction books. 

Writing Workshop:  We will continue to write "How To" booklets, posters and books.  So many of us have expertise in many areas!

Math:  We will be starting Unit 6m ("Place Value:  Numbers 1 to 100).  This week's topics are:  Working with Ordinal Numbers, Working with Multiples of 10, Adding Multiples of 10 and Describing a Number as Tens and Ones.

Social Studies:  We will learn about MLK and his place in the history of our country.
