Dear Families,

Just wanted to show you a quick look during Math Workshop today.

Today we went to the Media Center so your child could check out a library book.   Library books will need to be returned every Monday so we are ready for our Tuesday check-out.  Here is a helpful tip that works well at our house.  After my sons are finished reading their library books, they place it right back their backpack. If your house is like ours, we have a ton of books and it keeps the library book separate from our own book collection.

Book Bag Log:   Inside each book bag, there is a sheet for you to sign.  You don’t need to sign the sheet every night (even if your child practices the book every night) just on the line next to the title. However, when your child practices re-reading the book, please make sure that it is recorded as a Nightly Literacy Activity. As the students become more independent during Daily 5, I will see your child more often.

Mad Science:  Thanks to the volunteers for this week’s Mad Science on Wednesday  (starting at 1:00 p.m.) and Thursday (starting at 1:00 p.m).  We could still use more help on Thursday if you are available!

Playdough Needed: We could use a new batch of playdough for our classroom since ours is getting very sticky.  If you are interested in making some for our class, let me know.  I have an easy playdough recipe if needed.

Kudos to:

• Olivia’s mom for organizing our Science Folders!
• MacKenzie’s mom for organizing our Leader in Me binders and helping us in our classroom!

Have a great day!

Ms. Wright
