I’d like to start this post with our all greens for February and our 2 new student’s of the month. The following children stayed on green the entire month of February: Zac, Husayn, Madleen, Noor, Dean, Natalia, Layla, Isabella, Zachary H. Danya, Jawad, Maya, Hadi, Mila, Mousa, Owen, Joanne
Our student’s of the month for February are Layla Hamade and Jawad Mouallem. 🙂 They did a fantastic job being responsible, respectful and safe in February!
All of our students made the reward for February, which was the Talent Show. I think the kids had a lot of fun!! 🙂 In March-June they kids cannot get more than 4 yellows, no blues and no reds in order to qualify for the reward. I do NOT think this will be a problem for this class!
As you may have noticed, we started Module 5 in math. This module covers fractions. This concept is brand new to some students, so please look over your child’s math homework each time it comes home. Together we can correct any misconceptions they may be having before moving on to the next lesson.
All students are in new literacy books and we are working on comprehension, vocabulary and fluency strategies. You should be seeing their books coming home occasionally for reading homework.
As you may have noticed, I am starting to include vocabulary on our weekly spelling tests if needed. The idea is to have the kids not only know how to spell the word, but to also know what the words mean. I know that in 4th grade this will be a requirement. This week, the words are pretty straight forward and understandable so their will be no vocabulary this week.
Other than our 1/2 day this Friday, we should have a full and productive week 🙂 Thank you for supporting your child’s reading minutes at home and making sure they return their reading logs on Fridays during the month of March! This Friday all Howard Students can wear their PJ’s to school and bring a stuffed animal. Student Council is asking for donations for this event. ($1 for Pjs and 50 cents for a stuffed animal)
Finally, I want to Thank Mrs. Sanderson-Price for coming to read Millions of Cats to our room!! We were so happy to have you!!
