Week 22 Recap
Posted in Classroom, Home Projects | No Comments »Hi Everyone!
PTC Reminder!
Reminder that PTC begin next week on Wednesday the 13th and are until the 15th. Please visit Track it Forward to sign up for your time slot. Right now we have 11 students signed up for their conference.
Past Week:
This past week we completed character ed from the Boosterthon group and then ended our week with the Fun Run! Thank you to all those who contributed pledges. Our class got up to 30 pledges! On on class’ Pledge-o-meter we accomplished obtaining the Read-a-thon incentive. On Friday the 8th of this week we will plan for students to bring in their favorite books to read. They are allowed a pillow and blanket to use while they read. They may bring multiple books. Please make sure their names are in their books, just in case. Thanks!
3rd graders checked in with me on their rounding skills. We did larger numbers rounded to the 10s and 100s place. 1st and 2nd graders did a math standard check in on adding and subtracting within 20. The answers or the numbers they are solving with are no over 20. 1st graders checked in to see if they understand the difference between signs and if they know what to do with them. 2nd graders had the same problems to solve, but the goal is to have 2nd graders fluent.
We went over Spelling Bee this past week and some students are already practicing. Students have 2 choices when it comes to participating. They may try their best testing to see if they are one of our top spellers. I am going to start with small groups and then the winner from each of those groups will then go on to compete against one another. This will let me know our two 2 spellers. The student who comes in 3rd will be the alternate. Even if a student doesn’t become one of our winner and still tries their best spelling then their participation counts towards this theme’s Spelling Bee contribution. Those students who do not want to spell towards the Bee will use the words on the Spelling Bee list I printed to come up with something creative to show me and Ms. Misha. They must use the words not the list, but not all of them (just a few). Students can create a game with the words, make extension works for our classroom, create a story, make silly sentences etc. I am wanting to know the student’s choice by Friday. Next week on the 13th I am going test for our top spellers. The winners from our class will then have some time to study before the 26th of February.
Upcoming Week:
Nothing too much is coming up this week. We will have an Earthquake drill Tuesday and we have Art on Friday from 8:40-9:30. Everything else will be normal to our schedule. There is some snow and winter weather moving in for the first half of this week, so please drive carefully this week with the rain and snow. Please provide your child appropriate outside gear for recess.
If you want your child to have pizza on Fridays, please have pizza money to the front office by Tuesdays. The form can be found on the MMM normally.
Baby on the Way!– This past Friday I announced to the class that I am pregnant 🙂 I am due in August as school starts back up. Please remind your child to help me out when it comes to clean up time and helping out around the classroom. It is helpful as I get bigger and helps me feel reserve my energy. Thanks!
Skate Night Coming Up! A Skate Night is coming up on February 19th. A flyer to take home should be sent home soon. Please refer to the MMM too for digital copies of those flyers.
Have a great upcoming week and Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
Ms. Kaley and Ms. Misha
