We will be starting Friday Fun Days, in which the students are encouraged to bring in $1 towards the fundraiser to participate. Tomorrow January 16th will be Jersey Day. 1/23 will be mustache day. 2/6 will be Pajama Day.
This week we will focus on...

We are using the table of contents to generate questions about our acrtic animals. We will fill out information on our animal's description, habitat, food source, location in world, daily life, survival techniques, and fun facts. We will ultimately fill out an informational research page, and type the final product. In addition to book resources, we will be using online resources to add to our knowledge.
