IMPORTANT! – rubber band
bracelets – We
have had quite the problem with rubber band bracelets lately. At first it was a
matter of finding them all over the floor, janitors (and myself) weren’t too
happy. Now we are having problems with kids flinging them. They have also been
a distraction during instruction and learning time. Please talk to your child about them, because I am going to have to
start taking them away for good if they are a problem. Thanks.
Also,
enclosed is a homework packet to help your child get ready for our testing at
the end of April. This is on his/her own time and does not need to be returned to school.
Here is what is happening this week:
Reading: We will continue to work on story elements (setting, character,
plot, etc.). Please talk about
those things when your child reads baggie books each night. We will learn the
hawk card “au”, “aw”, “ou”, and the toy card “oi” and “oy” sounds this week. We
will then start reviewing.
Spelling: No more spelling tests! Woohoo!! We will do some spelling awards to
students who had consistent outstanding spelling scores all year long.
Math: We will start shapes and fractions of shapes today (Topic 16). This
is our last Topic in math. Once we finish, we will start reviewing everything
we have learned this year on math PLUS extra that we should expect to see on
the Spring NWEA Math test.
YPP: We have 176 green dots. Our new class goal is 180 green dots by April
15th. Each student has made an individual goal and will be rewarded
if he/she reaches it each week. YPP can be done at home
as well. Email me for instructions if
they have been misplaced.
Social Studies: We have learned how to be a builder and build others up. Please sign
and return the enclosed yellow form to show that your child agrees to be a
builder! This was a Prevention Dimension lesson!
Thank you, and have a good
week!
