News From Room 106

Families,

Today, we celebrated our 50th Class B-Slip! The students continue to impress other staff members throughout the school. Not only do they continue to do an excellent job in the classroom, but are noticed in specials and in the hallways too!

Students will be coming home today with report cards for marking period two and our latest NWEA test results from December. Please let me know if you have any questions after looking over both documents.

Our Valentine Day party will be on February 14th. We do have a half day. More information on the party will be coming home soon.

Have a great weekend!

Jorden was this week's Spotlight Student. Jorden has done an excellent job with working hard each day. Jorden continues to use great manners with students and staff. Throughout the week, we learned that Jorden loves to spend time outdoors hunting, fishing, swimming, and playing football. He does not like sweets and pizza! Keep up the great work, Jorden!

Next week's Spotlight Student is Teagan! Tegan is doing a great job in turning in his nightly math homework. He also continues to be respectful to his classmates and peers. Teagan does a great job in completing his work in class!

Students are continuing to find the area of composite shapes. We will end the unit with working to design our dream homes! We will plan to test next week on Thursday or Friday. After our multiplication unit, we will move to fractions!

Next week, we will begin our next unit on Realistic Fiction. Our variety of texts will focus on the essential question of "How can you use what you know to help others?" For grammar, we will be working on identifying and using linking verbs. For spelling, we will work on long u spelling patterns.

We have been continuing to read about the relationships between the British and French people in this area. We will plan to test on this chapter on Wednesday. We will then move to a new science unit, Animals Through Time. Students will learn how animals and their environments have changed through time. We will also study fossils.

This week, we have been working on counting money. We have also continued to work on finding the area of rectangles. For penmanship, we have worked on a's, and v's. Next week, we will work on area and addition/subtraction. For penmanship, we will be working on y and w.

Throughout the month, we will focus on Integrity. Students will work to learn the importance of making the right choice when on one is looking.
