End of Week Updates!

Tomorrow I am off for my daughters field trip. So updates a day early 🙂 Ms. Emily will be subbing for me. For dismissal tomorrow please come up to her and say your child’s name so she can start to learn all of you as well.

Tomorrow will be our first spelling test! They will take it first thing in the morning. We will encourage them to sound out and try their best. Tests will come home on Monday after I check them.

Today we talked about Groundhogs day! Silly little Phil says 6 more weeks of winter! We voted yesterday and most of the class was split. After they finished work today they were able to make a groundhog puppet if they wanted to.

This week we have focused on arctic animals. We talked about where they live, what the weather is like, their habitats, what they need to survive and camouflage. The students did GREAT with their arctic animals writing! (It will come home tomorrow). We will do this each week with all of the animal classes.

NWEA scores are coming home in todays folder. Those are yours to keep.

Reminder about valentines. Your child should be writing their own name under the “from” section. This is great practice—- do not do it for them 🙂 We have 17 students in our class. They need a valentine for each friend. Please leave the “to” section blank.

We have finished Benchmark Unit 5 and will move to Unit 6- Stories have a Message. This goes along well with our animal units and daily writing.

Lastly- many of the students are complaining it is too hot in the classroom. I have an air thermometer and it stays around 70 for the most part. Please dress your child in layers so if they want to take off a sweater they have a shirt underneath. The sun tends to warm up our room each morning and that’s when they are saying it is too hot.

Have a great weekend!
