I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather was a tad chilly compared to the past couple of weekends. I prefer the sunny weather. :-)
Don't forget that we are off this Friday and the following Monday. Yeah for a 4 day weekend!!
Please ask your child if they have basic school supplies. Many students are lacking in scissors, crayons or colored pencils, and regular #2 pencils. It would be a huge help if they could keep these things on hand.
I hope you found your child's progress report in their Friday folder. Please sign this and return it on Monday. I made the mistake and stuffed the progress reports in the report card envelopes (not sure what I was thinking), but it's not a big deal, as I can just add an additional line for you to sign when the 'real' report card goes home at the end of the nine weeks. I was one step ahead of myself.
You should have also found a conference time for our early release days coming up at the end of February.. Thank you for sending the signed slip back in as soon as possible.
Valentine Book Report Floats can be brought in tomorrow or on Tuesday. We will present them on Tuesday. A class list is below for classmates' Valentines. Although the float in mandatory, the kids do not have to participate in the Valentine cards unless they just want to. If they do bring in cards, please just have your child bring one for each classmate. Yes, candy can be attached if you would like. Some kids had asked me about this.
Here is what's happening in the classroom:
Social Studies: We are continuing our studies of the formation of the US Government. I plan to test the kids next Wednesday. We will fill out a study guide this week and play a review game on Tuesday of next week. We should then be ready for the test on Wednesday. It would help your child if you could start reviewing with them now. Click HERE for a study guide with the answers. This is the same study guide we will fill in together in class.
Reading: We are continuing figurative language with this week's focus being Idioms. These are always fun.
Grammar: We are studying adverbs.
Math: This week we will work on comparing decimals to the tenths and hundredths place, adding and subtracting decimals, and rounding decimals. We will not test until the end of next week. I will know the final test date closer to the end of the week. This will depend on how easily the kids master the topics.
