Monday

WOW! I just love my class!! They are so sweet, eager to learn, and well-behaved! We've only been working on our BasketPAWS for 4 days now....AND...the kids have set a new record! They've earned their first 15 PAWS! WOW! We will be voting tomorrow on the reward for the students.  Praise your child for excellent behavior when he/she gets home today! (and believe me, I am not easy to get PAWS from!!)Also, thanks for the smileys or star's today on the planners! I just want to make sure parents are remembering to read and hopefully this is a helpful tool for you!

In my math class today we worked more with place value.  Students worked in pairs exploring standard and word form and also recognizing what each place value number meant.  We also worked together on both forms. 
HW: students have 2 problems to work out for you on a 3x5 notecard. They are to ask you to sign the page as well.
Mrs. Maldonado's Math Class HW: pages 1-2 in workbook 4A - only do circled problems

Reading today was cut short to due a behavior assembly.  However, we were able to get our novels passed out and begin context clues.  IF you are able to check out our reading book (The Watson's Go To Birmingham) from the public library I would really appreciate it! I have 24 copies and we have 29 students in the class.
No HW

The Behavior Assembly was with all 3-5th graders.  Mrs. Sharp went over expectations and model good behavior.  My class did an awesome job listening!

In Science today we learned more about classifying animals.  After reviewing Thursday's lesson, the kids explored Herbivore, Carnivore, and Omnivore through an activity.  We also used our science journals to record what we learned today.  The kiddos took an exit slip at the end of the lesson.  We had almost everyone score perfect!
No HW
*We are going to do a small lesson on classifying tomorrow as well and I need some Silly Bands to use for our lesson! I've asked the students to bring some in. I promise to return all the bands to the rightful owners! :)

In Writing today we went over adjectives and nouns for our mini-lesson.  I was surprised at how many students forgot what each were! But no worries, we read a book about adjectives to jump-start our memory as well as played a game using nouns and adjectives.  Students were also given time to answer a writing prompt about their weekend.
No HW

Tomorrow we have PE. Please remind your children to wear tennis shoes!

Have a great night,
