Happy Monday! Hope you all have a wonderful sports filled weekend!
We are excited to announce that our new student came today, Samantha. She came to us from Crestwood Elementary and we are all so excited to have her join our classroom. We now have 10 boys and 10 girls, yay!
This week:
Spelling: No tests this week! The students have been introduced to their new spelling words for this week. Green group is on sort 20 and are focusing on long U sounds. Blue group is on sort 27 and are focusing on ir, ier, and ire words. Yellow group is on sort 14 and are focusing on short and long O sounds.
Math: We are working on data and probability this week. Please continue to study those multiplication facts!
Writing: I hope you all have a chance to check out the blog and look at all of our persuasive writing videos. I made sure to video tape them as they try to convince you all in their writings. We all had a lot of fun with this project! This week we are working on Valentine writing/poems.
Reading: We are working on point-of-view as well as finishing up our reading group books. I will be on the look out for new reading group books this week!
Science: Last week we finished our matter unit with a fun experiment on how fast a solid turns into a liquid depending on the temperature of the liquid; we had a race. This week we will be focusing on Mixture and Solutions.
Social Studies: This week we are finishing up Chapter 10. The students will bring home their study guide on Wednesday so they can use that to study for their test on Friday. We will play a review game on Thursday to help better prepare them for their test. I feel confident that they will all do very well on this test. :)
This week is our Pasta for Pennies spirit week:
Monday- If you bring in pennies, you may wear crazy socks or mismatched shoes.
Tuesday- If you bring in nickels, you may wear your favorite sports team shirt
Wednesday- If you bring in dimes, you may dress in 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s wear
Thursday- If you bring in quarters, you may wear a hat
Friday- If you bring in any amount of money, you may dress like the 60s (hippie)
This is all for a wonderful cause so let's see if our whole class can participate!
Reminder:
Next Tuesday Feb. 14- Valentine's Day Party- starting around 12:35
Wednesday Feb. 15- Early Release
Have a great week! :)
