I hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day break from school.  We are now back in full swing with another busy week!  Here is a look at what we have going on:

Wednesday is our last 4-H meeting and it is when our recycled projects are due.  These are NOT mandatory but they will count as extra credit!

Thursday we have a guest reader coming.  Ian Reitz, from News Channel 4 will come to read a story and talk with the students for a few minutes.  We also have Holly Thompson coming on March 7th, and Paul Heggen coming March 5th.

Friday is our FUN RUN!  I do not know the time yet that we will run, but as soon as we are told, I will let you know.

Science we are continuing our work on the Water Cycle and will be moving on to Weather and Climate next week.

Social Studies we are finishing up Ch. 10 and will test over Ch. 10 on Friday.  Wednesday we will work on our study for our test.

Wordly Wise this is our FINAL LESSON!!!  Tomorrow will be our final Wordly Wise test.  Please make sure your son/daughter is well prepared to ace this final Wordly Wise test.

Spelling- We will still continue to do our Spelling that goes along with our Reading story.  This week we are reading Lost City.  Our Spelling words go along with that story and we will be working on wb pages 86-88.  Our Spelling Test will be Friday.

I will be sending home a page titled Presidential Research.  This will be extra credit.  It will be due Monday February 27th.  This research is NOT mandatory!  The more information and research your child does, the more extra credit he/she will receive.  Your child could receive up to 10 Extra Credit Points.

Hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Parents,

   Happy Valentines Day!  I hope you each are having a fantastic day.  Our day was WONDERFUL and quite busy!  Not only did we celebrate Valentines Day, we also had our Boosterthon kick off today.  Each child will come home with their pledge map and access code.  This code is to be used on the website and you can put your pledges in online.  I am so excited about this opportunity to help raise money for our school.  Please help your son/daughter get some pledges.  Here is an update for the rest of the week:

Wednesday is our Wordly Wise lesson 19 test.  Remember this is over Spelling and definitions.  

In Math, we are continuing our work with decimals.  Tomorrow we will spend our day reviewing how to add, multiply, and divide with decimals.  Thursday will be our test over Ch. 13

Science we are continuing our study of erosion and soil.  The Water Cycle will be the next topic we discuss.  

In Social Studies we have been studying James K. Polk and we will continue on with the CA Gold Rush.  

In Language we are reviewing Common and Proper Nouns.  

Please make sure your son/daughter is reading 30 minutes each night and studying.  I know Wordly Wise has been tough for some, but we are almost finished..  We just have to make it to Lesson 20!  I know they can do it!  If you have any questions please let me know.  Hope you all have a fantastic night!

Ms. Jones

Test tomorrow!

Our Hat and Electronic Day!

Today we used Oreo to demonstrate the Phases of the Moon!  Here are some pictures:

 

Welcome back!  I hope each of you had a wonderful weekend!  Looks like the cold is going to be coming back to us, so please be sure your son/daughter has a coat at school each day.  We will be going out to recess everyday as long as it isn’t freezing and there isn’t any rain.  However, I will not allow them to go out without a coat.  I want to make sure we keep everyone as healthy as possible!

Please remember we will be celebrating Valentines Day on the 14th.  Make sure your child address an invitation to each child in our classroom and remember they must be done in cursive! 

I also want you to know how thankful we are for all of the supplies you have sent in to donate to our friends in Africa!  It is so amazing the amount of supplies we have received to ship off.  I’ll post a picture to my website soon showing the amount of supplies we have received.

Here is a brief look at our week:

Math- we are reviewing decimals and we will test over Ch. 12 on Wednesday

Science- We are discussing the phases of the moon.  Wednesday we will review and complete our study guide and we will test over Ch. 4 on Thursday.

Social Studies we began discussing the Trail of Tears today.  Tomorrow we are going to prepare to have a “class debate” on Thursday.

Reading- Our story this week is Encyclopedia Brown and we are working on contractions.

Wordly Wise test over Lesson 18 will be Wednesday.  We only have a few more lessons left in Wordly Wise.  The kids are doing great, so let’s all really encourage them to finish out strong with Wordly Wise!

Happy Friday!
