Tuesday

Good Afternoon!
 FYI:
*If you have any old magazines or you get magazines for your kids, we'd love to have them after you read them at home! (i.e. Ranger Rick, Time for Kids, etc.)
*Please be checking and signing the planner each night!
*Picture day has been set for Sept. 6
*Orchestra papers are due on THURSDAY
*I will be working on the volunteer schedule this Friday and be sending this home soon!
*Math HW tonight
*We need scissors!! They were left off the list, so if you can get a pair for your child we would GREATLY appreciate it!

Science: Today in science we learned to classify items by their characteristics.  We first went through living, non living, and once living items and determined what they needed or didn't need to survive.  Then we went on a science walk and found all kinds of things to write in our Science Journals.  Kids did a great job with this and the Exit Slip at the end showed! Almost everyone received a 100%! No HW

Reading: Today we worked on some grammar through our Drops in the Bucket.  Then we talked about what goes into a mystery and found key details in stories to help us find the solution.  We popcorn read from our Treasures series about a missing lunch.  I heard some great fluency and expression while students were reading! :)  The students also helped me in key details to find something that was missing from my desk! ;) Lastly, we participated in an activity with our reading response journals and our new lit. books - Frindle.  We are still needing about 5 more copies of this book, so if you are going to be at the public library, we'd love it if you'd check one out! Frindle by Andrew Clements. No HW

Math: Today we continued with our place value and word form/expanded form.  Kids did pretty well and it showed on their exit slip! We also played a fun activity to help with numbers up to the thousands place. HW: pg. 1 of their workbooks, please sign

Writing: We began with 10 minutes of DEAR time for students to read a book of their choice.  Then we worked on our editing skills and spelling mistakes for our flashback time.  Next, we wrote out text messages and edited those! It was fun. No HW

Have a great night,
