Hi Families! Hope you have had a terrific week! Hasn't the weather been beautiful?!! My family has sure enjoyed the wonderful evenings! We've had supper picnics, long walks, played with sidewalk chalk, and went on trips to feed the neighborhood goat!
This past week was sure a full one! District mandated testing took a good 4 hours of our time this week! Yuck! I am sure looking forward to a "normal" week! We had to postpone a few of the things I planned because of the testing, so some of the agenda for the new week will look familiar! :)
Reading- We will finish the Mouse and the Motorcycle story this week. Look for a related homework assignment this week. The children have all taken their Star Test now, so I will be sending home their AR level based on this test.
Spelling - Sounds of "a" List 3 on spellingcity.com Our first set of enrichment words will be the "g" enrichment list on spellingcity.com. This is a list that is optional for those that want an extra challenge. :)
English - Animal Reports
Math - Place Value test - Tuesday Rounding begins on Wednesday. We only had time for one day of multiplication speed tests last week. This week, we will hit it hard. Your child should be studying their 3's. If they know their 3's, they can study other facts.
Social Studies - Oklahoma! Please don't forget to send your 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt mixture by Tuesday. We will be mostly looking at Oklahoma's land features and natural resources this week, as well as Oklahoma's Native American groups.
Science - We will start our habitat murals this week! Fun!
I am so proud of your kiddos! Many of them are working really hard on the Mastery Club!
Don't forget to send in Sunny D labels. :)
Remember to take a look at our Scholastic book orders. If our class has a $275 order, that means 5000 bonus points! That equals a lot of free learning materials for our classroom, such as books and games, etc.!! We are already up to $50 in orders! You can order books online as well. I will send home a letter with directions on Monday. The book orders are due September 20th.
I want to thank all my volunteers! I so appreciate you! Mrs. Ramirez has copied for me and Mrs. Clegg will be copying for me. Mrs. Stong has done several odd jobs that has saved me time! Today, Mrs. Humes, Mrs. Stong, Mr. Goben, and Mrs. Masengale volunteered in the class to help with duct tape wallets and foam frames! Wow! What a job it was!! I couldn't have done it without them!! Thanks so much!! I think the children had fun and were proud of their crafts!
Don't forget the Map Homework Assignment that is due on Tuesday!!!! If you have any questions about it, let me know!
