Writing
In writing we continued our letter writing unit this week. The students brought in addresses of family and friends that they wanted to write to. We practiced the proper format for writing a letter and then they wrote real letters to be mailed out. We also learned how to correctly address an envelope!

Reading
The students spent the week researching their Olympic sport and creating posters. Each student chose a sport and will be presenting their information about their sport next Tuesday.
We also looked at some ways that Russia has changed since the past. We looked at how cities are different then and now and also how transportation has changed.
It has been really fun learning about the Olympics, and the students are getting excited for it to start!
Math
In math we worked hard on fractions again! The students practiced splitting groups into fractions, comparing fractions and creating equal fractions.

Spelling
In spelling this week we really hit hard adding endings to words, with our focus on -ing. We learned 3 rules to help us: doubling, dropping, changing y to i. The students spent the week coming up with verbs and changing them into -ing words.
Our final activity was to choose a Superbowl team and write football verbs. It was really fun to see who is going to cheer for the Broncos and who is for the Seahawks!
