Good morning,

iBlog was down over Thanksgiving Break, so I was unable to update. Unfortunately all my usual updates are on my laptop at home, and so this will be different.

This week we are working on:

• Math – division
• Writing- Biography
• Reading – Inferences
• Social Studies – Jamestown and the Southern Colonies
• Science – uneven heating and radiation

Have a great rest of your week!

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine in a nice warm place 🙂

REMINDERS:

• Parent-Teacher Conferences from last week are rescheduled for Monday, November 18. The times are the same. If you missed your conference, please make sure to come.
• The canned food drive is over on Tuesday. This gives us 2 more days to give to those who are in need.
• Please bundle students up warm. If they own boots, please send them to school. They can change into them for recess.

The class had a substitute last Thursday morning and when I came at lunch time I was very proud of them! The sub gave me a raving review, and even asked to be their guest teacher again. It was the highlight of my week.

Have a great rest of your Sunday!

There are a lot of pictures this week! The students practically begged me to take them 🙂

Good morning! It’s Saturday and looks like a great weekend.

Reminders:

• Brrrrr! It’s getting cold! Please bundle up, because we will be going outside until it dips lower than 20 degrees.
• We collected 26 cans for the canned food drive! I know we can collect more!
• Parent-Teacher conferences will continue on Tuesday and Thursday.

I did not get to take a ton of pictures this week, we have been so busy. This week I have been impressed at how eager everyone has been learning. This is really a great class and they keep me happy daily. <3
