P2 Shirts Monday

Don't forget to wear your P2 shirt every Monday to celebrate our new character strength. This week we will be focusing on optimism and how we can use this strength both in and outside of our classroom.

New Year, New You Celebrations:

We are planning to celebrate the power of a growth mindset and the importance of goal setting with New Year, New You Celebrations on Friday, January 8, 2021. I'll be sharing photos of the celebration in next week's blog.

If you are able to send in some small, individually wrapped snacks and/or drinks for Friday, please send me an e-mail to let me know.

This week's learning:

ELA: This week we are focusing on the genre, Trickster Tales. We will determine the text importance for Trickster Tales and will compare and contrast using a graphic organizer

Click below for some ways you can help your student practice compare and contrast at home:


Writing: This week we will begin to look at and learn about our next writing unit: persuasive writing. Stay tuned for more information!

Math: This week we are going to be backing up a bit with our fraction unit so that we can properly introduce fractions with more hands-on materials. I will be sending home the home link packet with your student on Monday; as we have already completed some of the lessons during our weeks of online learning, you may go back and complete those home link pages at your leisure.
We will also be reviewing for our Unit 2 test on Friday (this was the test we initially were going to take on Friday December 4th. Students have already taken home a study guide to practice from and still should have their unit 2 home links at home. Please take some time to practice at home this week.

Unit 3 home links can be accessed by clicking here:





Social Studies

This week in social studies we will continue our learning with geographical location. We will learn and discuss the United States in spatial terms and think about different technologies one might use, and how the United States could be described using the concepts of location, place, and region.



Mr. Hernandez
