Career Dress Up

The students looked adorable today dressed up as what they wanted to be when they grow up!

In the Science Lab we made wind vanes. The students learned how to find North and to read their wind vane to see which direction the wind was blowing from.

In the Light Bulb Lab we  practiced for the COGAT. Remember testing starts next Wednesday and goes until Friday. Make sure your child gets good sleep, eats breakfast, and arrives to school on time.

Have a great long weekend!

Partner Reading

This week we reached our goal of reading to ourselves for 20 minutes! I am so proud of the students and their focus. Since we were able to reach our goal, we moved on to learning a new part of Daily 5- Partner Reading. The students were allowed to choose a partner and sit EEK with them to read. They have really enjoy this. Next week we will learn how to respond to what we have read both independently and with our partner.

We got to visit the Science Lab this week were we reviewed safety rules and put together or eclipse booklet.

In the Learning Commons we got to go in the Star Lab with our 3rd grade buddies!

Thank you for having your child complete their homework and turn it in on time. Have a great weekend!

Open House

Thank you so much for attending Open House. It was great to see you and get to talk about your child's day to day activities. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions.

This week we continued to establish our rules and routines. We created our class mission statement and talked about working in groups.

We are continuing to make progress building our stamina for Daily 5. Our goal is 20 minutes and I think we will reach it next week! We will continue to learn more about Daily 5 next week including word work and working on writing.

Next week in math we will be focused on collecting data using graphs.

Home will come home on Monday and is to be returned on Friday. We will have a spelling test on Friday!
