Thursday

Another great day!

*FYI:
The Food Drive is going on NOW! :)  When your child brings in a multiple of 3 (we are doing this on Calendar this month!) items (3,6,9,etc.) he/she earns lunch in the classroom with a friend! :)

*Report Cards will be coming home next Wednesday!

Math: Today we worked VERY hard on double digit multiplication again.  Students are trying their best, but still making silly mistakes because the facts are not memorized.  PLEASE take maybe 5 minutes a night to help your child on this. I really appreciate it!  We worked in small group centers today so that I could see a few students one on one.  The kids were awesome!
HW: 1 sheet with 5 double digit problems

Reading: Today we continued with our Author's Purpose and looked more at persuasive texts.  Students wrote me a persuasive letter about not having HW.  The best letter will earn a Hard Work Cafe pass for the student.  We also had our first Book Talk on the new Lit. Books.  I was very impressed with the conversations I had with the students. Everyone seems happy with their literature book.
HW: complete letter if not in class

Science: Today we practiced another Fossils sheet that can be used as a study guide. I really think students are ready for this test!
HW: do practice questions from yellow folder sheets for test on Monday

Writing: Today we continued brainstorming ideas for our new writing piece.  Students narrowed the topic down and decided on 3 specific things they want to include in their article.
No HW

Have a great night,
