Thank you to all of your who were able to come and support the Mosaic historians at our Vermont History Museum event. I have included some photos of "exhibits" for those who couldn't be there in person. Next month we will have another opportunity to showcase our hard work at our annual Passion Project Breakfast. Stay tuned for more details on this project and event.

We are using Kate DiCamillo's award winning novel
Because of Winn Dixie as the text for our class book clubs. Each student will get their own copy of the book and this week our students reviewed strategies for close reading fiction to prepare for the first club meeting. We have practiced having productive discussions in groups about a wide variety of topics and used unifix cubes to "grow" our conversations. This week we learned about what our responsibilities are in a book club and got to meet and give ourselves a score for how we participated in the discussion, how we prepared our written thoughts, and how prepared we were overall.

In mathematics we have moved into
Unit Four. After taking the preassessment students set goals for themselves for the unit. Some of the goals that we are working on are around converting measurements from one unit to another, using place value to compare numbers into the hundred thousands, and using the standard algorithm and other efficient strategies for multi-digit addition and subtraction problems.
Students are looking forward to Valentine's Day this week and list of names have gone home if your student is interested in making valentines to exchange. Please remember to include all students in your child's homeroom class.
