Hi everyone!

Well, our class has been very busy the last few weeks!  We have completed our NWEA as well as a writing prompt!  The students really did their best and I am so proud of them!  Everyone improved which is incredible!!!  We also won the lunchtime challenge AGAIN!!!  That makes too many times to count, which is a good thing!!!  I met with strategy groups today and gave them work to do over the next few days as I need to complete end of the year DRA’s.  So please look in your student’s book bag to see what they need to be working on in reading this week.

Spelling words for this week are: bigger, biggest, liked, liking, talked, talking, faster, fastest, greatest, greater and the bonus word is suffix.  

NWEA reports will be sent home tomorrow.

Thanks for all that you do!

We won the lunchroom challenge again this week!  I am so proud of the class and they are doing a great job!  We earned a pizza party!  Tomorrow-April 20-we will have pizza for lunch!  All that we need is a drink and a snack.  The spelling words for this week are: didn’t, they’ve, she’ll, he’s, wouldn’t, there’s, isn’t, it’s, shouldn’t, wasn’t, and the bonus word is contraction.  NWEA begins this week-please be sure your child is getting enough rest and eat a good breakfast!!  We have been doing lots of fun measuring activities in math and are learning about goods and services in social studies.

Hi everyone!

It was so nice to see some sunshine peek out today-allowed the students to get outside for recess which was well needed!!!  Our class has been very busy-we are beginning our new economics portion of social studies, learning about plants in science, writing informational and opinion articles in writing, and beginning our measurement unit in math!  We also won the “lunchtime challenge” again for what may be the sixth time!!  It’s been so many times that we can’t keep count!  This week we have remained on O every day-so we are off to a wonderful start to possibly winning the challenge again!!  I promised the class that the next win we will have a pizza party in the classroom as a reward-so watch for that coming soon!!!!  We have a field trip this Tuesday, April 12 to the Dearborn Historical Museum.  It is a great trip and the students will find it educational and exciting!  We will be back to school by lunchtime!  Thanks for all that you do-have a wonderful weekend!!!   Go Tigers!!!
