Good Morning!

I am so sorry that I forgot to send home the spelling tic tac toe for List 27.  The list will be coming home today.  With power outages and the field trip-it was an oversight on my part.  Fortunately, the words are short and easy for this week.  I will post them later today along with the information for the week.  Thank you for your understanding!!

Mrs. P.

Welcome Back!!

Everyone has been doing a great job since coming back from break!  I am having the class use the chrome books to do animal research instead of strategy group homework for this week.  They are enjoying researching their animals.  Our spelling words for this week are:  stare, stair, dare, hare, chair, rare, fair, aware, compare, spare and bonus word simile.  

We are finishing up fractions this week and will have a test this Friday.  Study guides will be coming home tomorrow.  This has been a fun unit!  In Social Studies we are studying history to prepare for our field trip next week.  We are going to the Dearborn Historical Museum next Monday, April 16 from 9-11:30.  We will be back in time for lunch.  It is 5 dollars for students and no charge for chaperones.  Please let me know if you are available to be a chaperone.  Stay warm and hopefully the sun will be shining soon!!

Mrs. P.

Good Morning!

We have one more day until spring break!  Our spelling test will be Thursday morning-so the tic tac toe is due tomorrow.  Our spelling words are: cage, indulge, range, pledge, large, bridge, ledge, bulge, hinge and charge.  The bonus word is numerator.  

Tomorrow is our ice cream celebration for March is reading month!  We will have ice cream instead of snack tomorrow and then we will end the day with our PBIS reward which is board games!  If your child would like to bring in a board game to play tomorrow that would be wonderful!  We are not including electronic games in case they would be left behind during spring break.  So tomorrow will be a fun filled day!  Please be sure to study our spelling words as we have one less day than usual before the test!!

Thanks!!

Social Studies Review-Read over with your student tonight!

Repairing streets, streetlights and cleaning up parks are a government action.  (keeps us and the community safe.)

Private actions are things like cleaning our rooms, and

taking out our trash.

Individual rights are rights you have as a person.

Being treated fairly.

Common good is good for everybody. (speed limits, stop lights, laws)

Allegiance means loyal

Symbols of our country are: the flag, bald eagle, monuments.

3 parts of government are the 3 branches.

City council makes the laws.

Diversity is celebrating our differences!

Good Afternoon!

March certainly came in like a lion!!!  We have been busy writing many stories and enjoying our new math books!  We visited the book fair this afternoon.  The book fair will be open tomorrow from 4-7 pm and your child may go down to the book fair during the school day anytime this week.  There are many wonderful books to choose from.  Our spelling words this week are: alone, again, agree, comma, idea, about, afraid, around, apart and aboard.  Our bonus word is punctuation.  It is nice to see the sun shining today!!

Have a wonderful night!

We are having pizza for lunch tomorrow (Wed, Feb 14) courtesy of Leann’s family at noon.    Thank you Pizza Place for providing us with a yummy lunch tomorrow!  Please have your child pack a snack if they would like to for lunch and if they would like something to drink besides water.  We will have a short party from 2:30-3:15 for Valentine’s Day!  We will be eating our pre-ordered cupcake and passing out Valentine’s cards.  Parents are welcome, but it is going to be a fairly quiet party.

Thanks for all that you do and have a wonderful rest of the day!!

Dear Families,

Our February PBIS celebration is almost here and the kids are so excited to make a competition out of this month’s activity with a CASTLE CUP CHALLENGE! Each grade level will be divided up into small groups and will have the opportunity to work with their classmates to design and create the best structure they can imagine.

In order to make this celebration possible, we are asking for donations of        16 ounce plastic cups (typical red Solo cups). The more cups we have, the more the kids will get to use in their creation.

If you are able to donate, please send the cups in with your student no later than Monday, February 26th.

Thank you so much for your continued support – it truly is appreciated!

The PBIS Committee
