Our Room Moms are collecting $20 which will hopefully cover the costs of all of our parties this year.\u00a0 Please try to send this in by Friday, October 26th.<\/p>\n
I am collecting $2 for a project we will be doing in Social Studies.\u00a0 Usually I don’t mind buying things for activities that we do.\u00a0 This one requires battery operated tea lights along with a few other items.\u00a0 Your support would be wonderful!<\/p>\n
Here’s what we have been doing:<\/p>\n
Daily 5 – Students have now been rotating through 12 different stations during Daily 5.\u00a0 They are now meeting in a literacy group with me.\u00a0 Please ask them each night what they are reading and if they have homework to finish.\u00a0 Many of them are forgetting to complete assigned tasks.\u00a0 They need to be prepared for group the next day by having completed these assignments.\u00a0 Practice makes perfect.<\/p>\n
Math – We are 5 lessons away from finishing Module 1.\u00a0 I am pleased with the progress most of the students are making.\u00a0 Please remind your child that since this is a new program it is essential that they are paying attention and participating in class.\u00a0 Some students are falling behind because they lack focus during the lesson.<\/p>\n
Science – Pushes and Pulls!\u00a0 Soon it will be working with magnets.<\/p>\n
Social Studies –\u00a0 We continue learning about Natural characteristics of Michigan – landforms, vegetation and climate.\u00a0 Next, we move onto Human characteristics.<\/p>\n
PBIS – Be responsible, Be respectful and Be safe!\u00a0 Many students are getting color changes because they are forgetting things at home, not completing assignments, acting immature at inapproriate times (this has been a big one!), not following directions (directions are usually given 3 times), and difficulties on the playground.\u00a0 I have been changing too many colors this month – more than I would like.\u00a0 Please have a discussion with your child about why they might have had a color change.\u00a0 Some receive a color change, we disuss making good choices and just a few minutes later are being reminded of a possible color change again.\u00a0 Learning from our mistakes is important.<\/p>\n
THANK YOU for all of the tissues!\u00a0 Hopefully our noses will be set for a little while.\u00a0 Our classroom always needs candy or little prizes for the prize box if you are out and about and would like to contribute.<\/p>\n
