Important Announcements:
*Congratulations to these
students for leveling up this week: Davian, Ayden, Lila, and Autumn. Wow! I
am so proud of how hard they are working to show behavioral and academic
growth. Way to go!
*Our reading competition is
on! I haven’t pulled official totals
yet, but I believe that I already have a student that is officially at the
halfway mark for the pizza party! It is
so exciting! Any book that your child
has read or has listened to (either you reading it, me reading it, or on tape
or CD) and that has a Reading Counts test over it, is a book that is eligible
for the competition. If your child
passes the quiz over the book, he/she will earn a certain number of points. We have a sticker chart that we are keeping
track of points on. When your child
fills the sticker chart one time, he/she will earn a token. If your child fills his/her chart a second
time, he/she will be invited to a pizza party with me. The reading competition will go on through
Spring Break.
*Our Winter Carnival
(formally Spring Fling) will take place TONIGHT from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. Hope to see you there!
*ISTEP + is quickly
approaching for grades 3-5. ISTEP+ will
be affecting our specials time. The week
of March 2nd, our specials will be from 8:50 – 9:35. The students
wrote persuasive letters to Mrs. Greene asking for an additional break in the afternoon
since it will be such a LONG afternoon, and they were so persuasive that she
granted their request! The kids were very
excited about this!
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org.
*If anyone is able to come in
and volunteer next week, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*I believe in building relationships with the children both inside
my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
