Welcome back after a nice long Winter break! It seems that the year keeps flying by quicker than we can blink an eye.
We continued working on our Creative Writing stories that we started yesterday. Students were to complete an organizational chart including at least 4 events that happened over the break. We are working on writing that follows a timeline. We discussed the use of transition words in our writing today as well. Students are to review their piece and include the use of transition words to make their writing flow together.
We corrected our math assignment from yesterday and began discussing thousandths.
In social studies we watched a short video introducing Christopher Columbus. The video can be found at:

Students then began working on a short story assignment pertaining to Christopher Columbus. This assignment is due on Thursday.
