February 17

Today we got to go to the library and watch a video about how the author of the Charlie and Lola books makes her collages. We also worked on writing details about a person, place, or thing that students chose to write about.

The Fang Reading Club has started once again. If your child can meet the reading goal for the next 8 weeks, they will be able to get a free Timber Rattlers ticket -usually for a game in May. I stapled a chart in the back of everybody's agenda today. They can mark of yesterday as a freebie. Each night they need to read 20 minutes. Then they can mark off that date-or parents can initial it. At the end of each 2 week period-parents need to sign a Fang (there are 4 of them), and send it back to school. I told students to keep the Fang paper on their refrigerator so it doesn't get lost.

Homework:

Math: Studylink 6.2

Reading: Read 20 minutes for the Fang Reading Club, finish reading the intro and chapter one of the book you are reading in your group. Write down at least one thing on your chart for each page. This chart is in your three-subject notebook.

ILA: Have an adult look at your list of details and describing words you started in class about your person, place, or thing. You should have around ten details. If you can't think of that many ask for help at home, or change your topic.

Spelling: Study
