April 30

Field Day May 2 8:30- 10:30

Lunch is at 10:50 in the room

Please make sure the children are dressed for the weather and have a change of clothes.

Today was filled with fantastic learning and we are loving our Fairy tale unit ion reading.  We will begin to create a laptop with APPs for the story elements of our favorite fairy tale.  We are starting our how-to writing and will begin next week gathering data on our research topic to explore and create our all about books.  In math we have been investigating multiplication and they are excited to be heading in this direction.  In science we are discussing plants and how they are effected by the weather and how they grow when certain things have been taken form them.

Long time-Field Trip

I am sorry it has been a while just wanted to say "i love that almost all have returned their permission slips for field day and field trip."  Please know their is a fee for our field trip to Gatti-Land.  The fee is three dollars and they are not to bring other game cards that day.  There will not be time for this.  also please leave younger children at home, they can cause distractions and children tend to watch them not what is going on.  Thank you for your support.

Top Banana this week is Jayden and I know we have had so much going on, I can not wait to hear all about you.  He has been a great help lining us up and taking attendance.  The students are loving our weather unit and are enjoying learning about clouds.  We are starting our geometry unit in math and boy are they learning a lot.  Please ask them to share.  We are focusing on facts and opinions in fiction and non-fiction texts to build comprehension.  Please help them by asking them to model this strategy.

We had a great day today and we made it through all activities I had planned.  We did have some extremely tired students.  they really seemed to love coming back to school and other times wishing they were home.  We are working on reading comprehension with non-fiction texts.  They will be coming home with some texts to practice at home and questions to answer.  We will be working on Geometry in math and we are working on review skills which they still need practice with.  The areas giving my class trouble is time to the minute and fractions of equal parts.  We will begin our lesson in science for Earth and Space.  I am sad to report that Jailen did not get the chance to discuss his poster we just seemed to not be able to get me on time keeper track.
