ELA: 

We continued reading Ways to Make Sunshine by Renée Watson and had thoughtful discussions about the characters and the challenges they face. Students are doing a wonderful job making connections and supporting their thinking with evidence from the text. We also had so much fun getting creative as we designed and built our Valentine’s Day mailboxes in preparation for Friday’s exchange!

Math: 

In math, students worked hard on their Dream House area and perimeter projects. They applied their understanding of measurement to design detailed floor plans and calculate both area and perimeter accurately. We are also diving deeper into multiplication and division, strengthening our strategies and building fluency as we explore how these operations connect.

Social Studies: 

We began an exciting new project focused on African American heroes. Each student selected an influential figure to research and is writing a 5W Poem (Who, What, Where, When, Why) to highlight their hero’s impact and legacy.
