Week 21

January 29 - February 2

Hello Parents and Students,

Thank you to the parent volunteers who helped support our class on our field trip last week! We appreciate you!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

House System: This Tuesday, students will be sorted into their Houses for our Ron Clark Academy House System! Students will learn what "House Behavior" looks like on Monday as a whole grade level. Below is a link to the introductory slideshow students will be shown on Monday morning in preparation for their sorting ceremony.

President's Report: Last Thursday, students came home with an assignment to choose 5 presidents they would be interested in researching. Students will select their president in class on Monday. We will begin researching this week in class. 

Valentine's Day: Your child may bring an item to share with the class on 2/14. I do ask that you have your child write only their name, not the recipient's name on the item. This will help while passing them out. We have 25 students in our class. 

OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE

Math: At this point, all students should master their multiplication facts x0-x6. Please make sure your child is practicing multiplication facts for at least 10 minutes a night. It is very important that they are fluent in multiplication facts as they continue their educational career. If you would like to print a set of flashcards, visit this site. We will continue with lessons 2-5 in Module 4 this week. Module 4 focuses on polygons and area. 

Reader's Workshop: This week, we will finish working in our Benchmark books titled Comparing Points of View. 

Writer's Workshop: Students will be continuing our unit on opinion writing this week. They will also begin their President research project. 

Social Studies: Students will review the information we learned on our field trip to the Camarillo House. 

P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday and Thursday for P.E every week. 

Music: Music lessons with Mrs. Higa will continue this week. Lessons will be on Wednesday's after recess.

Mrs. Palmer
