Questions for students

So the kids asked if I would post questions for them and I agreed.  Please have your child comment to the following questions.


1. Did the groundhog see his shadow?  What does that mean for winter?


2. Who do you predict will win the Super Bowl tonight?  The Denver Broncos or The Seattle Seahawks?  Why do you think that team will win?

Okay kids, I can't wait to see all of your responses!  Enjoy your Sunday and I'll see you tomorrow! :)

Happy Groundhog's Day!

In celebration of Groundhog's Day on February 2nd, Mrs. McMullen, Lydia's mom,  brought in a special treat for the class today. It was delicious!  Thanks Mrs. McMullen and Lydia.
Here are some pics of the class enjoying this special treat.

Balance and Motion!

We've restarted our Science unit on Balance and Motion.  There are lots of hands on activities and the students are loving it!!! I'm adding some pictures of them balancing a pencil on it's point.  Ask them about the balance point and counter balances.  Fun!!!

today

Hi Parents,
Today we had a busy day.  Miss Waskow started teaching whole group reading.  We had our Unit 3 week 5 spelling and reading tests.  We learned about division and reviewed parts of narrative and informational writing!  Whew!
We're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping we can make it through the whole week without any delays or cancellations.
Tomorrow we'll review our Unit 6 math concepts and have a test on those skills on Wednesday. 
We will have an assembly on Friday morning and a guidance lesson Friday afternoon. In addition, we'll have  our Unit 3 reading test.  Remember, no spelling test this week. Also we'll celebrate Groundhog's Day on Friday with a fun activity.
I think that's it for now!  Let me know if you have any questions. Thankyou.

Today

Hi!  Students enjoyed our day today.  Students had fun playing math games today to work on skills.   Our math test will be moved to Tuesday, weather permitting.  Remember, students will have their weekly reading test and spelling tests on Monday.
We started cursive today!! Everyone is very excited! We will continue through the alphabet. 
Next week, Miss Waskow will take over teaching whole group reading as well as math.  She is doing an excellent job and the students are really responding to her.
I think that's it for now.
Have a wonderful weekend!  And stay warm!  Brrrrr!!

Change of Schedule

Wow!! This weather has been crazy!  Due to the snow day and the 2 hour delay today we'll have to make a few changes in our schedule.
First off, we will move our weekly spelling and reading tests to Monday, Jan. 27th. We'll also begin our unit review next Monday.  We'll review Unit 3 Reading skills for the rest of the week, ending the week with our Unit 3 Reading test next Friday.  There will not be any new spelling words next week.  In addition, we'll have our Unit 6 math test on Wed., Jan29th.  I hope that helps with any confusion you may have.
* One caveat- this schedule will only work if we don't have any more snow days or delays in the next week.  We can keep our fingers crossed! :-/
