Oh snow!

Once again, our week was cut short!  We began a new week in Wonders and focused on the essential question "What makes events in history unique?" As a class, we read about the Oregon Trail, California Gold Rush, and the Transcontinental Railroad.  Each story contained so many interesting facts!  Our comprehension skill that we learned was sequencing.  The students worked hard to put the events of a story in order.  We also began to write a book review of a favorite story we have read.  The students worked hard to write a short summary of the book, as well as state their opinion and provide reasons why they feel that way about the book. 

We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday, Feb. 21st.  Students should bring in their valentines any day next week and we will hand them out on Friday. 

See you Tuesday!
