We are in desperate need of recess equipment. Our bin is empty!! If you are able, it would be greatly appreciated!! Great gift idea for your child's teacher!





Word Study Update

We will be testing Tuesday and starting another list on Wednesday.  We wanted to get two lists in before the Winter Break. We will also be selecting a representative from each class for the school Spelling Bee. This is an optional activity in each homeroom. Students will be given a written spelling test cold, meaning they have had no practice with any of these words. The students who spelling the most words correctly will be the classroom representative. 

Reading Update

  The students are really enjoying the Making Meaning lessons. We are starting unit 4, analyzing text structures, on Monday. The picture book highlighted this week is Thundercake. 

Writing Update

  We are beginning a unit on procedural writing. This writing encompasses recipes, game directions, science experiments, and basic how-to directions. 

Math Update
