For the week of January 26th, we will be serving...

 Hi Everyone,
This week we are getting into some "tasty" work. The students will be starting the reading unit comparing and contrasting certain types of information. What better way to do that than with CHOCOLATE! Here's how this week will be broken down:

Reading: We are starting The Chocolate Touch and relating it to the history of Chocolate. We are also going to tie-in letter writing with our story. The students are going to write letters to different chocolate companies requesting any form or information that they can give us. (hopefully free samples, YUM!)

Math: Fractions are the name of the game. We are working on identifying fractions, comparing and ordering them. There will be a little bit of multiplication involved but it's nothing that the students can't handle.

Social Studies: We are working on moving from the Civil War and Reconstruction to New Challenges NC faced as a new state. We will look at World War I, The Great Depression, and WWII.

Reminders:
Thursday is will be our Den Dollar Store day.
Thursday, January 28th: McTeacher night at McDonald's on University Pkwy.
