Last week of 2016!! Time flies when you are having fun...
Some quick updates:
*Tomorrow is a reading summative (Tuesday). We have been practicing in class the last two days so they should be ready for it. I told them they could bring in gum or mints to help them focus if they want. I put a big emphasis on enjoying those quietly. :)
*Reading Counts Points are due by this Friday. Check in with your child about this. You can always login in as them to check their points and progress. Here's the link: Reading Counts Link
*Important Reading Log information:
Reading logs are officially now going to be completed all online starting after break. This week, we will be completing one in class to show them exactly how to do them. We are also going to shift from 4 short entries to 2 one-paragraph entries per week. This way, students will be going deeper into their books using textual evidence to support their ideas. Ask your child to login to the Google Classroom to show you their entries at any point in time. :) Thanks for your patience with this. If you find you are having technology issues, please let me know.
*We are finishing up a project related to Force and Motion. The kids chose a topic like rollercoasters, catapults, etc. (Something related to force and motion). Then, they had to choose a sub-topic, research it, and write about it. They are putting those together in a class book that Mrs. Will will display in her classes while they continue to learn about the topic. Today, they wrote a blurb together explaining how their topic related to force and motion. Their goal was to use words like velocity, acceleration, gravity, friction, etc.
The project will culminate with a poster that I will display in the hallways for all to see!
*Happy Holidays to everyone!! Enjoy Winter Break!!
