Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great season home with their loved ones. Now, back to the grind! haha
Students will have a spelling test next Friday January 10. The list was sent home yesterday: Feathers, Not Just for Flying U2W1. This list is on plural words by adding -s or -es. Please study with your child.
In grammar, we will be studying compound sentences. We will be studying conjunctions too. Test will be next Thursday.
In reading, we will be reading how feathers are an adaptation to birds. Test will be Tuesday January 21 & January 22.
Please remember to remind your students to keep their cell phones on silent, turned off, or at home. Students should not have their cell phone's volume turned up, nor checking them throughout the day. If you need to reach your child, please call the office, or email me.
Also, we have been going outside for recess. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately.
Ice cream is available on Tuesdays for $1.00. If your child has a lunch balance, they can not get an ice cream unless they have cash for it. Credit will not be given towards ice cream. Your child needs to have the money in hand; they can't go back to the classroom for it.
Please reinforce the importance of working effectively in class. Students are more worried about what is going on outside or in the hallway, than what the teachers are teaching. Assignments and tests are taking much longer than necessary due to lack of focus. Practice basic math facts, definitions, spelling words, etc anywhere possible: car, dinner, bedtime, during commercials, etc.
Have a great weekend!
