Thursday

Check out our new door! Ask your child how many 'leaves' they've been able to fill out!

Helpful, Sharing, Attitude, Manners flowers

FYI:
*Please turn in Jump Rope for Heart and Book Fair papers if you are able to participate!
*Don't forget! If your child ever plays any of the games off my blog {look under Fun Learning Games tab to the right}, you can write that they played in their planner for extra credit!! :)
*We are looking for balloons for a vocab. game and washcloths if you have any extra at home!

For Morning Work we did an activity on the Groundhog!! He saw his shadow...hmm..I hope that doesn't mean the bad winter is to come! :)

Science:
In science students worked on forecasting and predicting weather with Miss Rickard. 
HW: study weather vocab. in science journal

Reading:
Today in reading students practiced their vocab words in partners.  They used the white boards to write sentences while spelling their words correctly. Their test will be next Thursday.  Students also completed their Unit test today. I have not had a chance to look at those yet.  Students tested on compare/contrast and 1st/3rd person. Lastly, students got into their lit. groups and read together while working on context clues.
No HW

Math:
We went over more mixed number and began improper fractions.  Students took a short assessment on mixed numbers so that I know which kids to pull tomorrow during review Friday. We did several interactive activities and demonstrations to make sure kids understood the 'why' behind these concepts!
No HW

Writing:
We had Health today during part of our writing time.  The last 15 minutes of writing we worked more on transition words and had DEAR time.
No HW

Have a good night,
