Tuesday

Well hello snow!! Anyone else getting sick of this?! We are up to June 3rd being the last day for kids.  I had to reschedule my family vacation!! haha
*Thanks again for being so patient with me calling each parent.  If this happens again (I hope not, it's so chaotic) than I will be using my cell phone again due to the lines being tied with the school phone.  I HAVE to reach every parent by phone or email, so thanks again for being patient with me calling your work numbers! :)
FYI:
Today we started with Day 1 for the week.
MONDAY will be our turn for Family Fitness PE time as long as there are no more snow days this week.
MUSIC tests need to be returned tomorrow for Mrs. Wagoner and signed by a parent.
MATH test for my class is rescheduled to Thursday instead of Wednesday due to the snow day.
New AR goals are in student planners along with the sheet with their old goals and what they made.
Book Log is due FRIDAY.
Class Picture day is Friday.
Awards Program has been moved to Feb. 2 @ 1:30...
Valentine's Day Party is Feb. 11 @ 1:30

Math:
Today we practiced hard for the test! I had kids 'star' pages in their workbooks that would GREATLY help them on the test.  A lot of the practice problems on these pages are similar to the test questions.  Students also got a study guide as well.  NO MATTER WHAT - our test will be Thursday. We've got to move on!!! :)
HW: complete pg. 111 in workbook

Reading:
Today we began our new skill - persuasion of the author in texts.  Students worked on fluency during partner reading today with Treasures.  They also defined their new vocab for the week.  It is located to the right if your child forgot his/her words tonight.  Students also had book talks with me or read more in their lit. books.
HW: read 1 chapter more of lit. book if not finished in class

Science: No science today because we had Class Elections! The students who ran were SO well prepared! It was awesome! We had one student absent, so once he votes I will reveal the elected president! :)
Writing:
Today we used the laptops to research our topic-of-choice for our articles.  Students chose a type of weather and will soon be writing all kinds of fun information! I was very impressed with how well students used their safe search engines to skim information and write down key ideas! :)
No HW

Have a wonderful afternoon,
