Thursday

FYI:
*No school for kids tomorrow
*Please subscribe to the Blog if that will help!
*Your child may be in Mrs. Maldonado's room for Reading or Math. We will be sending home letters next week to let you know where your child has been placed.  These are flexible groups and could possibly change multiple times in the year.
*Infinite Campus (grades) should be up and running by the end of next week. You are able to check that any time.  If you need to know how to long on, there are simple directions under the "Grading Scale" tab to the right of my Blog.

**Lunch Bunch: Today, not all of the children received lunch bunch. :(  We are working to get it next week already! Please refer to the Informational Packet that you received on Open House night if you need to know reasons why your child could have missed.  This would be marks in Mrs. Maldonado's class for reading or math as well.

*MY Reading Class only: Some students received their work today from yesterday to re-do for better quality.  If so, they will be asking you to check and sign it.  When it is turned in on Monday they will (hopefully) be receiving a 100%.  If it is not turned in Monday the student will get the first grade that was given. 

*Science:
We continued working on classifying living things.  We made it through almost all the different types of mammals.  We played a couple of activities on the smartboard as well.
No HW

*Reading:
Students took a short quiz over our objective this week: finding key details in a text.  We also finished our grammar sheet for the week.  Since we all did this together, students should be receiving a 100% on this! Next week students will be completing this on their own.  We also got into our Lit. groups and read the second chapter of Frindle.  If you have time this weekend we'd love for you to pick us up an extra copy at the Public Library!  Lastly, students wrote in their reading response journals from one of the topics covered in the chapter.
HW: finish reading response journal prompt ONLY if not finished in class

*Math:
We are continuing working on place value.  Today we focused on comparing numbers using <, >, =, and finding the answer for questions like: 2,000 less than 34,098.  We were also able to take our quiz over this outside with chalk! You may see it if your child is a car rider!
No HW

*Writing:
We continued with our editing skills and worked a LOT on cursive writing.  It has been set as an expectation this year that students are able to read and write cursive fluently by the end of the grade level. :)
No HW


***Also, the kids earned their PAW party already! They voted on PJ day and extra recess for Monday.  Kids can wear slippers, but bring tennis shoes for PE!

Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!
