January 6 – 10

This week we read “Be a Perfect Person in just Three Days” by Stephen Manes.  This was more of a cautionary tale than a manual.  Take-away:  It is OK to be imperfect because being imperfect is what keeps life interesting!  😉

Academics:

ELA:  Realistic Fiction; abbreviations

Math: subtraction strategies with regrouping; estimating differences

Science:  Stars

Social Studies: Cultures that have settled in the U.S, Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean; goal-setting

Thank you for being helpful and consistent week!
