Today we got to Skype with the sixth grade music teachers, during specials. It was fun, because we got ask questions face to face with the teachers. After skyping, we talked about Valentine's Day. We each need to bring in a container (shoe box, coffee can, oatmeal can, etc.) to put Valentine's cards in. We will decorate them in class. After this we had Social Studies and Reading. Some of us gave our country reports. Next we talked about our February book reports. We can read any book in our lexile range, but it must be at least 150 pages and it has to be a book we've never read before. We are gong to make a class wiki of all our books. We practiced words today, by doing a Word Exploration. Today we took a quiz on Hatchet chapters 11 to 14. For homework we have to read chapter 15. We have to stay inside for recess today, because it is too cold outside. In math we are beginning chapter 7.

Talk you later,

Alex
