Hello all! First of all, did your child tell you that today they were introduced to The Stones (The Rolling Stones)? We are using their song, "Jumpin' Jack Flash" as one of our brain breaks! They love it!
This is a busy week and today was a busy day. Here is a list for you to note:
Tomorrow we have late start (school starts at 9:15) and early dismissal (12:00). Don't worry, we will cram lots of learning in those few hours! Also, make plans now to attend our Open House on Thursday from 6:30 - 8:00p.m. I have some fun Smartboard activities for you to do together. You can even do some of our brain breaks!! Sign up for November conferences will take place this evening. Hope you can make it!
Here is our homework:Spelling - list 8 (short week so only 2 activities due Friday)
Fluency - we are continuing to work with the passage from last week. Kids should practice at home and bring in EVERY DAY!!
Culture Dolls are due tomorrow - WOW! You won't believe what some
kids have done!
Math - my class has an Extended Response assignment - it is just like the one we did in class together. The one they have for homework (and had time to begin in class) is easier than the one we did together.
Reading - Our test on the story, "Dear Mrs. Parks" is THURSDAY this week. Please study the story. The test will be a little different, the kids will be asked to answer a variety of questions as if they were Rosa Parks. This is a higher level skill that requires them to apply what they know and have learned about Rosa Parks and her life and mission. Vocabulary will also be assessed.
As always, thank you for your support at home. Please tell your child that the secret word for this post is: Satisfaction (another Stones song!)
