School

NO SCHOOL tomorrow or Wednesday!! I sent home a note this afternoon with information about the tests. Hope everyone is safe and gets to have some snow :)

Math this Week

We had some sad speed drill grades last week, so this week I am going to give a borrowing worksheet on Wednesday for another grade this week in math. PLEASE practice borrowing with your child every night. It will be 2 and 3 digit subtraction.  

Tomorrow

Electronics may be brought tomorrow as long as the child has parent permission to bring them.

Last Week's Tests

The tests from last week have not been sent home yet. I was not here on Friday and it is a short week so I have been working on getting them graded. We also had a few that had to be made up so I was trying to get as many made up as possible. They will be sent home today.

Math Page

I sent home a math page we worked on in class. Some did not even try and some got confused. I sent it home tonight to be finished and corrected. If they return it in the morning they will receive 5 points on their math test or speed drill, whichever it is needed on the most. Please work with them on borrowing some have the concept and are just getting slightly confused.

Field Trip Information

We will be leaving for Montgomery Friday morning no later than 8:15.

Dress:

Please dress your child nicely to go to the Shakespeare Festival. Dressy-casual would be what I would say to dress them. It is going to be very cold so make sure they have plenty of layers. NO FIELD TRIP SHIRT OR JEANS! We want our kids to look very nice. Girls can wear color pants or leggings and a cute top.

We will be going to Jason's Deli for lunch.

Reading/Science Test

Mrs. Rogers was nice enough to make us a study guide for this week's reading test. I will be sending it home tonight with the science study guide.

Reading Test- study the study guide and the 10 long e words.
Science Test- study guide and the vocab words in Chapter 9.

Friday, Jan. 17 and next week

I will be out this Friday so we will take our dictation test tomorrow so I am able to call out the sentences to them.

Next week is a short week for us (Monday-holiday, Friday-Shakespeare Festival).We will not be doing reading or science. We will do spelling list 19 ( I will send it home tomorrow so you can begin studying, trial test will be one Wednesday), language (we will review present, past, and future tense verbs and have a little quiz on Thursday), math we will have our regular test on Thursday.

Today I am sending home a letter about lunch when we leave the Shakespeare Festival. If you could PLEASE return that paper by Friday at the latest. If you could send it back tomorrow that will be great since I will be out on Friday.

If you have any questions please email me!

Math Information

Please review borrowing with your child EVERY NIGHT. We are still having a lot of trouble with it. They need to know how to identify when they are to borrow. They also need to pay attention to their addition and subtractions signs. Many students are coming to ask me if they borrow on an addition problem. Please look at the math sheets that are sent home each night and review the borrowing problems on them. Thanks!

Language Test

On the language test this week everyone will have to know the difference in a present and past tense form of the verb have.

Directions example:

Write the correct present-tense form of the verb have in the blank.

Write the correct past-tense form of the verb have in the blank.

New Calendars

I sent home new calendars yesterday in your child's folder. We will be using these now instead of weekly calendars. They will color each day what color they ended on for the day. If there is any information you need I will try to write it on the calendar. If there are any behavior problems you need to know about I will write this on the back of the calendar. Please check and sign your child's folder/calendar every night. I will check on sign them the next morning. This will let me know that everything is getting home where and seen. Please remember to clean their folders out also. The math pages that are sent home can be kept and any language or reading worksheets sent home can be kept also. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

Colors:
Red- Outstanding
Orange- Excellent
Yellow- Good Job
Green- Ready to Learn
Blue- Reminder
Purple- Teacher's Choice
Pink- Parent Contact
