Hi Families! Hope your weekend has been great! So excited that March is here!! I am sure a Spring person! The best news of all lately though is our move back to the building! YEAH!!!! I have been putting off a few of the things I normally do in hopes of getting back to our room. The portable is just not big enough for certain activities. :O The children have been working so hard and getting along well. I've also noticed such a helpful and kind attitude towards each other. I'm so proud of them! We will be doing our space habitats a week or 2 after Spring Break. Now that we will be back in the building, we can do them all at the same time instead of a couple groups at a time. Whew! That will be so much easier! This week, we will be practice testing again. We will do the math practice test on Monday and the reading practice test divided between Tuesday and Wednesday. The following is a look at what else the week will hold:
Read Across America Week - The children should have brought home a list of fun ways to dress to celebrate Dr. Suess and the week! We will be doing a Reading BINGO card this week. The BINGO card will consist of various genres of books I want the kids to read. Here are a few examples: Biography, picture book, Dr. Suess book, nonfiction book, Robert Munsch book, joke book, poetry book, tall tale, etc. They will be doing assignments with these various books as well. We will also start a contest against Mrs. Herbel's class called March Madness! This is like our Superbowl Challenge that we did in January except with basketball! Go Corderman's class! We can do it!! On Friday, we will have our Read-a-Thon! Your child should have brought home an envelope and information to collect donations for this event. Our class would sure like to be the top collecting class so that we can win a water balloon fight against Mr. Rainey! I told the children to ask parents' employers or their churches to donate. Every dollar counts. Remember, the money earned goes to our school playground. We will be having a Read and Feed on Friday for our Read-a-Thon, so the children may bring some treats to eat, as well as some comforts from home....blanket, pillow, and a stuffed animal.
Math - Long division, Geometry, Continued Review - I am so very proud of how far the kids have come with regards to retaining what we've learned! We are finally getting to the point of almost everyone getting a "C" or better on our cumulative reviews! That's awesome!
English - Online Storybooks
Social Studies - The children will begin learning about the Midwest Region of our country. This week we will look at the states in that region as well as learn about the landforms and resources. They will also begin an independent study covering important topics of that region.
Spelling - List 16 on spellingcity.com Enrichment words will be x,y, and z words. I will add them to spellingcity.com soon.
