Next Week:
Snap Shot of this Week
This week we had our Fall Reading OAA! I am so proud
of your children; they worked so hard preparing and
taking the test! This week we also did our Student
Learning Contracts (SLC). In math we finished up our
chapter on rounding! We created videos using the
Show Me app on the Ipads to teach our friends how to
round to the nearest ten and hundred. The kids loved
it! In language arts we worked on creative writing,
vocabulary words and our AR tests! The kids went to
Mrs. Luzar’s for social studies they are learning to read
maps and learning about communities. Our class also
earned a Sports Day for awesome behavior! 
Next week will be a short week; 4 day week!! We will not have school
on Friday. Next week we will be starting chapter 3 in math which
focuses on adding three digit numbers and regrouping! In language
arts we will be doing a creative writing project and reviewing
vocabulary words. We will not have a vocabulary test next week
since it is a short week! However, AR tests are due by next week.
Your child signed a contract that they will read 5 books this quarter!
Most of my friends have already reached this goal! In social studies
your child will be learning about landforms.
