Math: This month we will be focusing on the unit dealing with probability! This is going to be a lot of fun and give the kids a lot of space to be creative in understanding the concept of probability. Ask them about the M&M Probability Math Lesson, that will be a hit! Let's be honest, who doesn't like to learn math when they get M&M's??

Language Arts: We will be reading several books related to Black History month to help trigger some ideas for what they're doing in Social Studies! Each night a new book will come home and we ask that the student write down three interesting facts they found out about the book! We're making a chart of all the reasons why we celebrate Black History Month! Thank you in advance for being sure they're writing down facts! :)

Science: This month we will be studying the life cycle of butterflies! The kids are going to get to have a butterfly and watch the entire process each day in our classrooms. This lesson will be so much fun and interesting for them! Once our little caterpillars have turned into butterflies, we are going to take then outside and let each student release their butterfly! We will post pictures of this soon! We look forward to you seeing our beautiful butterflies. There is a link below related to this unit.

Social Studies: This is always an exciting month for our school as we celebrate Black History Month! Each week we will be going to the computer lab to research for Writer's Workshop! At the end of the month they will be bringing home a book that they will have published for the school to read! We are so excited for this month and the amazing writing your kids will be doing! Definitely ask questions about who they have been researching, you will be suprised what technology has done for our classrooms!
