Sorry this blog will be short and sweet. We have many happenings in class this week I am getting prepared for and find there is not enough hours in day. Our first Read and Relax Friday was a huge hit. Thank you to the families that sent in donations. There are some pictures of my friends on this website. Check out the picture page.
Also, we joined and are participating in a Global Read Aloud. See the Reading page for more information or ask your student. We are in the process of connecting with other students in the United States for a book discussion. We will be connecting through Skype once I hear back from another teacher in California.
This week we will be starting a formal spelling program called Words Their Way. Students will be assigned homework on Monday and it must be return by Wednesday. The spelling test will take place on Fridays. We will also be assigning the Fifth Grade High Frequency words for extra challenge.
In Science, we continue our growing our plants while exploring in more depth the functions and parts of plants. I am hoping to get students outside in our trails this week. Please make sure they come to school with the right shoes.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. We have been doing a great job managing homework, music lesson and be respectful throughout the day. I am so proud of all my students. Thank you for all your support at home. Social Studies test is on Tuesday and a Math test is on Friday. I know all the students have been preparing and will do great.
Enjoy your week.
