This week we are learning about Hanukkah. On Monday we listened to a Hanukkah story and today we watched a movie and each student made a menorah. As students learn about different cultures, they will learn to appreciate other people. The story of Hanukkah tells how the Jews fought against the Greeks who were trying to destroy the Jewish faith by encouraging the people to give up their beliefs.
We took a math test yesterday and today started anew on equivalent fractions. Up to this point we have just compared models. But tomorrow we will begin seeing the mathematical way to find equivalence.
In reading we reviewed the new words in our reading selection. There were many words that the students were unfamiliar with. We will not be doing normal vocabulary this week, and the first spelling test will be Thursday instead of Wednesday.
