Congratulations to my class for reaching our classroom yellow ticket goal! Our class voted to celebrate by having a PJ day with ONE stuffed animal friend to carry along. Please make sure that your child is wearing appropriate pajamas and that they are weather friendly since the kids will still be going out to recess. Children will need to wear shoes to school as well. The stuffed animal will be kept at their desk tomorrow as long as they are able to handle it.
We have added a two new class pets to our room. Thanks to Olivia R. we are now the proud owners of two tadpoles! The children are so excited to have a class pet and are looking forward to seeing them grow into frogs.
Thursday and Friday I will be busy giving the kids a reading assessment. Mrs. Sauser will be in the room as the student's substitute teacher. I plan to send these results home , as well as, the results to the unit 1 math test next week. Watch your child's mail.
Homework completion is still problematic! Please refer to your child's homework schedule on the back of their red folder so that you are familiar with their homework schedule and are able to help get your child into that routine.
This week we have been working on main idea and details in reading. We have been talking about the author's purpose and inferencing.
We continue to work on our writing piece about an event in our lives. The children are currently working on peer editing this piece.
In math we are working on multiply digit addition and subtraction as well as big numbers and place value. We will take the unit 2 test next week.
In history we learned about Robber Barrons and did research on a Robber Barron that we shared with the class. Next week we will move on to capitalists.
In science we are doing scratch tests to see what properties are in rocks.
Please remember that the PTO is still collecting the directory information along with the volunteer form. Spirit wear is due on Spet. 11th. If you still need a form you can find it on the Truman web page.
The summer reading and math calendars are due tomorrow.
Tonight is a PTO fund raiser at Chick Fil A from 5 - 7.
Have a relaxing weekend!
