Next Weeks Plans and Testing in the New Year
First, let me thank you for your patience while I was sick. The students did a great job in my absence. Hopefully, I am nearing the end of the "yuck" and will be here daily.
I was amazed at the kindness and generousity of all of you with your donations to Mrs. Smith's "teacher survival basket"! She has not seen it yet but I am sure that she will be in tears! We will miss her terribly. Today when I was talking to the kids about Mrs. Smith's party one of the kids asked me, " Why are we celebrating Mrs. Smith leaving?" I tried to explain that this is a big step in her life but to the kids they are losing one of their teachers.
Next week will be a busy week of celebrations and holiday fun. Yes, there will be learning too. :)
Children WILL have a spelling test and homework next week. They will also have Comprehension Tidbits. We will be finishing up Math unit 7 and taking the test next week. We will continue to work on narrative writing . In reading we will be continuing our books on snakes and doing snake research. If your child has a book on snakes they are welcome to bring it in.
Along with this learning we will be doing some fun things as well.
Monday we will be meeting with our second grade buddies and playing holiday games and sharing a snack. Wednesday we will be making holiday gifts . Please remember that Wednesday if a half day of school. Thursday we will be having our class room celebration. The kiddos have earned 500 tickets. We will be watching the movie" The Santa Trap", doing a holiday craft , and the kids may bring in junk food to snack on and a drink. Friday we will be watching :Despicable Me 2" as a school reward and having popcorn. Grades 3 - 5 will be together in the gym. Since this movie will be a bit long our holiday party will not begin until 3:00.
Over break your child will NOT have any homework. Enjoy the time with your kids! After break we gear up for a month full of testing!
The children will be taking the Reading Performance Assessment, the district math assessment, the writing assessment, and the QSI test. PLEASE send me an email if your child will not be in school any of January so I can make sure that they complete these assessments before/after their absence! These are all cumbersome tests and require a lot of time to take!
Have a relaxing weekend and stay warm!
