Thank You

Thank you to 17 and 20 for January’s bulletin board of New Year bells.

Learning Cornner

SCIENCE: Water Cycle Project turned out wonderful. Every student had a little something different on each project. We are going to continue working on our weather.

MATH: Fractions are giving us all a little trouble. There will be a test at the end of the month. Please help your students work on converting fractions in to decimals and percents.

READING: We just finished our literature circle and for the next 2 weeks we will be doing centers. Students will have a book that they will need to read aloud to you.
Centers: Fluency, Computer, Guided Reading, Readers’ Theatre, Making Words, Spelling Practice

LANGUAGE ARTS: Students will be starting a research project on Native Americans. We will be taking this project one step at a time. For the first few weeks we will be gathering information and learning how to put it in to paragraphs and recording our sources.

Congradulations

Congratulation to all of the students who studied hard for the class spelling bee and the school spelling bee.

Valentine’s Day Party

We will be having a party on February 14th at 2 p.m. We will be decorating bags in class. Students may bring their Valentines cards to school that day to pass out. I ask that they have enough for everyone in the class so nobody is left out. We will be playing games and passing out cards that afternoon.
