Welcome back everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful break. I enjoyed rest, home projects, family, snowboarding, many celebrations and band performances.
I wanted to thank all of you who donated to my class gift. Wow! Thanks to you all, I have saved up enough to get a really nice Martin acoustic guitar that I will use with the Wild Rovers, my Irish Band. My other guitar was badly damaged at a recent performance.
Here is a brief overview of our learning this week in Room 12:
Reading-Our RTI groups have started reading The Fighting Ground, a book about the American Revolution and a young boy who fights for the Continentals. This week our reading skill is sequence of events.
Math-We are learning how to divide fractions. See the review lesson on the right. "Leave it, change it, flip it, solve it, reduce it!"
MLK-This week and next week we are watching the "I have a Dream" speech and discussing this amazing man and how he transformed this country.
