Mrs. Ballnik’s Classroom News

My email is ballnic@dearbornschools.org

Please email me, if you can because I read it at least twice a day.    Send notes or call the office and I will get back to you.

SCIENCE

    Thank-you to everyone that has sent in the Mystery Bags.   We will enjoy guessing what is in them using describing words or PROPERTIES that tell about the object (or piece of matter) that was put into the bags.  We are studying about Matter in science.  Please send back the bag with something in it and words to describe (properties) if your child has not brought something in.

  Post-its are another need of the class. Please send some in, if you are able to.

PLANNERS– Please send these every day because we use them. The spelling words will be written in them, also. There is a charge, if a planner is lost.

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE LONG VOWELS THAT END IN E.

The words will be; ate, bite, cave game, huge, mane, mine, nose, pine, rode, rude, stove, tube, vote and wide. 

Social Studies– Please point out things that you see as you walk/ride through our COMMUNITY of Dearborn.  We are studying about community.  There are natural characteristics (tree, river, grass) and human characteristics (bridge, road, store) of our community to be seen.  Please discuss these as you see them at home.

Reading Bags are still needed.  I do not have enough to lend everyone that has not sent in one.  They may end up with a big zip lock bag. 

Math- The first test will come home by parent request.  Please ask if you want to see the Module (unit) 1 math test. 

Thank-you if you signed up for Class Dojo.  It is a very nice message system.   Please ask if you did not get a password from your child.  Passwords have already been sent home, but I will get you another letter to you with the password,  if you send a note, email or call me.

Thank-you for your support,
