Announcements
Thank you to all parents who volunteered at the Valentine's party!
Please make sure you check the Friday folder to confirm your conference date and time. Friday folder checklists will not be included for the next two weeks, as we prepare for conferences and third trimester. If I have concerns, I will be emailing or calling.
The third grade won a pizza/ice cream party at the Comet Carnival Auction this year! They will be receiving their party on Friday, February 22nd during their lunch period. Each student will get a juice box, 2 slices of pizza, and custard from Andy's. We are excited to celebrate on this day!
In the Classroom
(I apologize for no pictures this week! I took them, but cannot get them to load correctly.)
In math this week, we focused on multiplication/division strategies. We also played a game called Beat the Calculator that is helping us become more fluent with our basic facts. Finally, we explored polygons using straws and pipe cleaners.
In writing, we continued publishing our expert pieces. We are hoping to finish these projects up next week in order to share with everyone at conferences.
In reading this week, we took a practice MAP test for Language Arts. Students did this on the computer. We will use the assessment results to see which areas we need to focus on as we start preparing for the actual test in the Spring.
We continued our Economics unit this week. We discussed the difference between goods/services. Students read a book called The Pickle Patch Bathtub that was about a family in the 1920's saving up to buy a bathtub! The students loved learning about economics during this time.
