Feb. 14-18, 2011

The spelling packet for this week will consist of Theme 5 Review words and the usual multiplication practice. I'm seeing a big improvement
for students finishing their timed test. Our class record this week was 2 minutes 55 seconds. Way to go Kidasi! Our runner ups have been Abed and Barbara. Keep up the good work everyone!

On Monday we will begin our animal reports in class. We will begin by taking notes for paragraph 1. This report will consist of 5 total paragraphs, mostly done in class with the research students have gathered in the computer lab. Once the report is complete students will then construct a diorama at home. As I mentioned earlier, a letter from the 3rd grade team will go home soon explaining this project.

Jenni Ward from Spectra Arts will also be joining us every Monday for the next 4 weeks for ceramics. She has some great projects and the kids love her. Without fundraisers and our yearly Rio auction, we would not be able to have Spectra Artists come to our school. On that note, our class project is underway. If you have not yet sent in $5.00 to Wendy Lee, please do so this week.

Have a wonderful weekend!
