Wow! Last week was one of the hardest weeks ever!! Moving back into my classroom is a wonderful thing, but oh what a job it was! Your children were amazing! They helped me so much! They were also very well behaved which enabled me to get a lot done! Love them dearly!! Everything is almost back to normal. We are so very thankful to be in our big beautiful classroom with a sink again! The room looks awesome! Henson construction did a terrific job, especially following the lead of Randy, their site foreman! Our custodians and Mr. Rainey worked their tails off this week helping to move everyone. So thankful for them too!
We have 8 weeks of school left.....can't believe it! We will be very busy these last weeks! There are lots of fun days ahead. I will be posting and sending home a letter of events and dates soon. Here is what this week looks like:
Reading - We will be finishing up our leveled novels....they need to be read by Friday. Some have already finished their books. I will give them their book report homework project when they complete their stories. These book reports are due next Friday, April 8th.
Math - On Monday, we will finish up our Geometry Towns. They are doing a fabulous job on them! Tuesday - Reading thermometers, Wednesday - Range, Median, and Mode, Thursday - Area and Perimeter on a grid, Friday - Polygons and Solid Shapes. On Monday, I will send home a homework assignment which involves constructing 3D shapes. This project is due on Friday.
Spelling - List 19 on spellingcity.com, List 19.5 - enriched
English - Usage of I and Me, We will spend the whole week in computer lab on our stories.
Science - Our body unit begins! Fun!
Social Studies - The Midwest Unit study is due in completion on Friday. About 2/3 of the class are managing their time well and have all or most of the work completed, but the other 1/3 are struggling. They will be having homework this week. :( During our work time, I enforce a quiet working atmosphere. Some are just simply not using their time wisely. They have a lot to learn and hopefully through these experiences will understand how to better manage their time for future success. :) We will get them there!
Friday will be our March Madness Reading Celebration! We are currently in the lead against Mrs. Herbel's class. I don't know yet the results of last week, because we were too busy moving, but I will check the current score on Monday. Hopefully, they can get my computer and smart board hooked up correctly and working too! That helps me in checking AR totals.
That's all for now. Please be checking the blog for current information as well as the dates of events coming up! You may want to mark your calendar with due dates and also the family day event when I get the list out. :)
