Feb. 19-22, 2012

Hello! Thank you for all of the "sweet" Valentine's from you and your children. I felt the love!

This weeks spelling packet for Two Days in May was sent home last week and is due Friday, Feb 22. We will have a spelling test on those words. Please be sure both reading logs are filled out.

This week we will also dive into biographies. Students will print out a kid friendly article about their famous American in the computer lab on Tuesday and we will begin writing our speeches. Most work will be done in class over the next 2 weeks. Some kids may need additional help at home. If needed, I'll send the outline home with those children. Oral presentations will be held on Monday March 25 and Tuesday March 26. A sign up sheet will be passed around class in a few weeks and then sent home. You are more than welcome to come observe your child giving his/her speech. I will send a letter and scoring rubric home soon as well.

We also have a field trip coming up on Friday, March 8. Please send in the permission form and $2.00 for the cost. I have plenty of drivers at this time. If you need a new form, please let me know.

Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Feb. 5- Feb.15, 2013

Hello! I apologize that this update is a bit late. Here are the upcoming events for this week and next.

A spelling packet for Seal Surfer went home Monday and is due this Friday, Feb. 8. We will have a spelling test on Friday. We will continue with division facts through this week and will have a unit test sometime next week covering the 3 division chapters.

Since the next 2 Mondays are holidays, a spelling packet for Two Days in May will go home on Tuesday, Feb. 12 and won't be due until Friday, Feb. 22. (students will have 2 weeks to complete their packet. There will be 2 reading logs attached as well).

A field trip form for the Museum of Art and History (MAH) went home today. This trip will take place on Friday, March 8 from 9-12:00. If you are interested in driving please sign the attached driver form. Also we are asking that each child bring in $2.00 to cover the cost of the admission.

On February 14, our class will have a low-key Valentine pass out. This will take place at the end of the day from 1:30-2:00. Feel free to stop by and say hello.

Have a great 3 day weekend!

Please send in pencils if you have any. We are running low:)
