Weekly Update 04-25-15



Important Announcements:

*Congratulations to Faith, Riley, Sa’Nyah, and Justin for leveling up this week.  Wow!  I am so proud of how hard these students are working to show behavioral and academic growth.  Way to go, Faith, Riley, Sa’Nyah, and Justin!

*Please email, call, or send in a note to Mrs. Hopkins if you will be able to volunteer to help with our track and field day on Friday, May 22nd. We still are in need of 30 helpers.

*MONDAY IS THE DAY!  I will officially be introducing your child to Trade-First Subtraction (borrowing).  Finally! 

*The last day for our class reading competition will be Friday, May 1st.  I will pull points reports over that weekend and announce the students that qualify for the pizza party with me.  Today was the last day that we are able to get in computer lab for several weeks so all Reading Counts quizzes will need to be done in the classroom during stations time.  I have several kids who are very close to qualifying, and I would love to see as many students as possible have a pizza party with me! 

*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 next week to volunteer, 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 so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com .
