Week of January 30-February 3rd

• The students have published their non-fiction books, and they should be very proud of their hard work!  They were diligent at following the writing process to create books with various non-fiction text features.
• In math, we are moving on to multiplication and division.  If your child still does not know the x1, x2, x5, or x10 tables, then nightly math fact practice would be beneficial.

W.A.L.T.:

• identify the key text features in non-fiction books (table of contents, index, pictures, and captions)
