This Week

Happy Sunday Afternoon!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got to spend a lot of time outside. It certainly was a beautiful weekend.

Here's what is happening this week:

We will continue to work on our Personal Narratives during our Reading block. Some of the kids have turned in their final projects to me. I will be grading them when they are all completed by the end of next week. We will be learning about what a biography is and will be reading a couple biographies during our center time. Please continue to encourage you child to read each night and study their spelling words. The test this week will be on Wednesday.

In math we will be taking the Unit 1 Assessment on Wednesday. Be looking for a study guide tomorrow in their purple folders. Tomorrow we will be looking at how to measure the perimeter of a square and a rectangle. Ask them what an acute and an obuse angle are?

We will be studying the Native Americans of Indiana this week. Instead of a quiz at the end of the week the class will be doing a foldable project. They will have the opportunity to work on it in class, and if need be, they can bring it home to work on. It will include an Indiana map, along with a timeline, vocabulary from a handout, and important facts about one of the tribes they choose.

I have received almost all the yellow permission slips and money. I still need several medication forms. If you need any of these forms, please let me know and I will send new ones home with your child. Flat Rock is October 12 - 13. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to be chaperones. It's going to be a fun time.

We are desperately low on snacks in the classroom. If you have an extra bag of pretzels or another healthy snack and would like to share it with us that would be very helpful.

Here is one more website to help with math facts: coolmathgames.com
The kids really like this one.

Related Arts schedule for this week: Mon. PE, Tues. Library, Wed. Music, Thurs. Art, and Fri. PE.

Running Club begins tomorrow morning at 6:50. Choir is Friday morning before school.

I think that's it for now. Let me know if you have any concerns or questions about anything school related.

Have a terrific week.
