Read week is always a great week filled with family and friends that show us how funny, inspiring, and important all books can be. Thank you to everyone who came to read to our class! They loved every read aloud and very much enjoyed seeing everyone during the school day.
Pizza
Party- Thursday, March 14
On March 14, we will be having our class pizza party. Each student
will be provided 2 pieces of pizza, a healthy side of either a fruit or
vegetable, chips, and a dessert. They can bring a 20 oz or smaller drink to
have while they eat (no
glass please!). Also, we will be eating lunch later than normal
for our pizza party. We're very excited to each lunch with all of our students
and celebrate them with the pizza party!
Runge
Field Trip Chaperones
In your student's Friday Folder, you will find a sheet that you
can fill out to volunteer to be a chaperone for our field trip to Runge Nature
Center in Jefferson City on May
10, 2019. This field trip is all day, and it is a ton of fun!
We need parent chaperones to join us on the field trip :) In order to be a
chaperone, CPS policy states that each chaperone must have a background check
before the field trip. These background checks take a while to process which is
why we are asking for chaperones to complete those now. For more information,
the sheet to turn in to let us know if you can chaperone, and for information
on how to complete the background check, check out your student's Friday
Folder!
Doodle
for Google
Also in your student's Friday Folder, you will find a "Doodle
for Google" that students have worked on in art class. If you would like
your student to participate in the contest for "Doodle for Google"
complete the form in their Friday folder.
Thank
you!
Thank you to everyone who made a banner for our students! This
helps each student feel celebrated as an individual in our classroom community,
so thank you for taking the time to make the banners. We will post pictures on
our Twitter when those have been hung up :)

Look at
All This Learning!
- Math
- This
week, we've used what we've learned about measurement to create line
plots of our class arm-span and our class long jump. We also worked on
adding more than 2 numbers together. Next week, we will continue take our
unit test on Tuesday and start a unit on shapes.
- Writing
- As we
continue to work on our "Which is Better" informational books,
this week we focused on our body paragraphs. The students worked on their
goals they made in their last informational book and had the chance to
read their writing to other students. Next week, we are starting to work
on our opinion writing.
- Fundations
- In our
spelling program, we continue to learn about different long vowel
patterns. The students are working hard at looking in their Monster Book
(mini dictionary) for their spelling options in both the Fundations time
and in their own writing.
- Reading
- For
Read Week, we learned about the importance of reading for enjoyment,
reading to learn, and reading for inspiration in our everyday lives. The
students (and teachers) loved being able to celebrate reading through our
different dress up days and through the many special people who gave us
the opportunity to read 44 different books! Thank you again to everyone
who participated!
- Next
week, we will continue to work on asking and answering questions in
nonfiction and fiction texts.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Mrs. Ross
