Students did a fantastic job balancing a few half day subs last week due to my daycare lady falling ill. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding during that time.
As we go into our third full week of mad minute testing, I need to emphasize the importance of studying these facts each night. It is incredibly important that students learn these facts in a "snap" so that the rest of our math units come easily. Students that are still working to pass their 5s will have additional time during class to practice these facts. Please encourage your child to keep working at them! We had our first Family Book Club last week. We spent some time talking about reading, eating treats, and painting pumpkins to represent the book. Next book club will be Room One by Andrew Clements. This is a fantastic mystery book that I have read to my class in the past. We will be celebrating this book by having a mystery themed party. It will be so much fun! The celebration for this book will take place on December 3rd. We began our science unit last week and we are already having so much fun. Students have begun the process of planning their first experiment. Tomorrow they will be forming a hypothesis and testing. I can't wait to see how these first experiments, completely planned by the students, go! We will be starting our life science unit this week! Reminders: * Please sign your child's agenda each night if they have finished ALL of their homework. * PE - Tuesday & Friday * Friday - wear Be the 1 shirts * Friday - Library day (please send books Donations Needed: * I am looking for a lab coat for our "Top Scientist" to wear during experiments. If anyone has one that we could hang on to, that would be wonderful! * Tiny (short) pencils or gel pens for our science observation journals * Old games that are no longer used in your family that we could use for indoor recess. * Trinkets & candy for monkey buck store.
