"I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something."  Neil Gaiman

Happy New Year!  We began our day with a writing workshop.  Students wrote about their holiday, vacation and New Year's Resolution.  It was great to hear about all the fun and exciting activities that went on over the break.  

We will continue with our multiplication division unit this week.  Students will solve word problems using multiplication and division number grids.  We will also work on square numbers, patterns, factors and products.  Students will have a one-sided assignment each night for homework. 

Their spelling rule this week involves the double vowel syllables -oi, -oy, -au, and -aw.  They will have a Spelling Cafe choice for homework each night.

Have a wonderful week!
