Fun Night

Just a reminder the WE Carnival is this weekend from 5:30-7:30, with a
spaghetti supper from 5-7.

We are still in need of items for 4B's "Candy Basket" and 4A's Hawkeyes Basket. Keep in mind the money from the classroom baskets benefit every child in the school. In the past
the PTO has bought classroom computers, sponsored field trips, given
children free books, bought classroom cameras, and so very much more! I told the
kids to think of the bag of candy, or Hawkeye item as their trade for using a laptop!  : }

Thanks for your support!

We all survived a full week after the Holiday Break and Mrs. Busch and I feel like we got a lot accomplished!  In Reading we are working on the story, "A Very Important Day."  Skills we are covering are: spelling patterns -ur, -or, and -ir, idioms, categorizing and classifying information, possessives, and journal writing.  In Math this past week we took the test for Unit 4 and will begin Unit 5: Big Numbers, Estimation, and Computation on Tuesday.  I also introduced the kids to Pentominoes, a puzzle that consists of 12 pieces that one manipulates to form geometric shapes, usually squares and rectangles.  They also practiced these on a website that let them solve easy, medium, and hard puzzles.  "Motion and Design" is the current Science unit the kids are working on and this week they will be constructing their own vehicles.  Pictures to come!   REMEMBER the end of the 2nd quarter is Thursday and all reading goals are due by that afternoon at 3:30!  Have a good week!
