Ms. Kaley's Classroom Room 24

Hello!

Happy Friday!

Our Science Fair is THIS Monday 3/24th.  You are welcome to come view projects starting at 1pm.  It should last well over an hour.  There will be no History that day.  Ms. Anna, myself, and so far, Ms. Jill will give scores.  I hoping for another teacher.  Your child’s score, based on the rubric posted, will be averaged for an overall score.  We sat down in the morning as a class this week to go over the rubric and what is expected, so students should be aware of what is going on and that their project is due Monday!  No late projects excepted!

Today 3/21 I will be teaching our class the start of learning our states.  Each week, until we get through all of them, I will be sending home a 2 page paper that has 6 of the states.   Level 1s: need to memorize the states.  Level 2s: memorize or learn to spell.  They also need to know the abbreviations!  Level 3s: will need to spell the state when I say the states name.  They will also be asked to write the abbreviation.  The sheet will come home 3/21.  They have until next Friday 3/28 to do this homework.  The instructions on their sheet are from another school that I borrowed the lesson from and their instructions are different.  Please follow the ones I posted here!  The 6 states they need to know in alphabetical order are:

Alabama- AL

Alaska- AK

Arizona- AZ
