March 22nd: We wll mail out Flat Stanley from school.
April 22nd: Flat Stanley needs to be sent back to school.
April 22nd-may 8th Students work on their Flat Stanley poster reports in class.
March Madness:
Wow! We have lots of great readers in this room! We tallied results for teams (made up of students from all classes) and then moved students up a bracket. If a team was knocked out of a bracket, they can still compete for most points overall.... so it isn't over for them. We have lots of exciting reading still left to do. Keep those minutes coming in! Here are some pictures taken AFTER teams moved up a bracket.
We had a wonderful clay lesson last Wednesday with Shuko. Students created textured plates. We will be painting them next Wednesday.
Music News:
The night concert for grades one and two on Thursday, April 4th at 7 pm. The theme is under the sea
Spelling:
This week's spelling list is all about adverbs. A few students took a pre-test of the words. If they passed most of the words, those students are taking home a challenge vocabulary list. If your child is not bringing home a challenge list and you are interested in having them work on those words as extra credit, let me know and I'll send the list home. They will still take the regular test.
This Friday is a teacher work day. Mrs. Fornia and I will be learning about creating Proficiency Scales (Grading guides) for unit planning and we will be getting some technology training as well. Since there is no school for students on Friday this week, Mrs. Fornia will be teaching class this Wednesday.
