Monday

I'm back! I missed teaching your kiddos this week! :)

FYI:
The kids made their 40 PAWS compliment party! They've decided to have a pizza party per the Class President's request! :)  So we will have a pizza snack on Wednesday afternoon.  If you are able to help out, please bring in $1! If not, it's okay!

MAP testing is THIS week! We started off today at 8:00 taking our MAP Math.  Most kids finished. I will send home results once our Reading test is finished as well (Wednesday).  Remember - this is ONE measurement of how your child is doing this year! Not all kids are test takers and that is OKAY!

Thursday is Sonic Night!

Science: I can explain electric currents and circuits.
Activity: Students learned through playing with light bulbs, batteries, and switches.  We learned about open and closed circuits and why metal plays a big role in conductors! 
No HW

Reading: I can explain why text structures help me comprehend.
Activity: We practiced the different text structures for non-fiction texts.  Students had 2 different activities to work on this.  The kids are really starting to get it! We will begin reading longer texts tomorrow.
HW: place the text structure cards together and glue on lined paper

No Writing or SS due to MAP testing.

Math: I can determine the perimeter of irregular shapes./ I can measure different amounts of time and length.
Activity: Today I pulled small groups during math class to work on area and perimeter and measurement.  I also pulled small groups to work on a review of measurement they learned last week with Miss Kirk.  While I was pulling groups, students who were not with me were working on their math Study Island practice.  This is a FREE site your child can use, too!
HW: complete the area and perimeter sheet - each child has 1 problem to complete, please check!

Have a good night,
Mrs. Burton
