The VIP of the week is Jacob. Jabob likes the number 88, the color pink, and monkeys. He enjoys baseball, ESPN, and roses. His favorite teacher is Mrs. Nowak. His friends are Lenny, Raymond, Joey, Christian, Noah, and Grant. Have a great week Jacob!

This week in math we are working on the concept of probability. Probability deals with outcomes. This week we will be talking about when outcomes are certain or impossible, and likely or unlikely. The kids usually like this unit because they will get to create their own experiment and possible outcomes.

In reading we are continuing with Raising Dragons. Check out this site to learn more about the story and the author. Thanks to the story, we've been able to learn more about responsiblity and taking care of something.

In writing, we will be using our brains to help our neighbors fix their paragraphs. Sharing brains is the best way to modify, correct, and perfect our writing.

In grammar are beginning to learn about prefixes and suffixes. This week our focus is on prefixes. Prefixes are parts of words that are stuck to the front of words to modify and change the meaning of the word. The kids know a lot of prefixes and hopefully they will soon learn more! If you want to challenge yourself you can go to this game. Be careful- these prefixes and suffixes are very hard!

In science we will begin learning about energy and matter. We will be doing many fun experiments. I can't wait to share them with the kids!
