Week of 3/4-3/8

Hello Families!

Our animal research projects are well under way!  We spent this week entering important information about our selected animals into our research packets.  Your child will be bringing the packet home this weekend to continue their research, if needed.  This packet needs to come back to school!  The students will be taking the information they gathered and will use it to create an animal research essay paper.  During the next coming weeks, I will be walking the kids through the process of taking the information they wrote in their packets and turning each page/topic into a paragraph!  It will be loads of fun and the kids will feel a huge sense of accomplishment when all is said and done!

In math we have moved on to looking more closely at multiplication and division!  So far the unit has been fun!  We have learned how to play Multiplication Bingo and have been figuring out multiplication puzzles, both a great and entertaining way to practice our facts!

*Reminders*
  • Our first field trip is coming up on Wednesday, March 27th!  Permission slips and payment are due this Monday, March 11th!  The museum needs to be paid two weeks prior to the trip, so it is extremely important we get everything in by Monday!  Thank you in advance!
  • Wednesday, March 20th and Thursday, March 21st are the dates for spring conferences!  If you have not sent in your availability yet, please do so by Wednesday, March 13th.  I look forward to meeting with all of you!
  • Beginning this Monday, all students will have a weekly behavior chart in their organizers.  At the end of each day, I will simply put a star on whichever area of the chart best describes their day: had a good day, had an "okay" day, or did not have a good day.  If ever the last box is starred, it will be followed with a brief description of the day's behavior(s). 
I hope that everyone has an enjoyable weekend!
