Today we read books and wrote in journals with our kindergarten pals. Mrs. Hess spent some extra time at the end of the day with the class doing a porject all about ourselves.

Homework:

Math: Make sure Homework and remember 3.2 are done.

Reading: Make sure to finish your "choose your own book packet"-all except the grids.

December 3rd

Today we finally finished out read aloud book The People of Sparkswhich was the sequel to The City of Ember. There are two more books in the series-the next one is a prequel to City of Ember called the Prophet of Yonwood. Check it out! We also got to try out a Jamestown simulation game during computer time. I will put it on the links on this blog.

Homework:

ILA: signed essay due tomorrow, read poem to someone and get it signed. The poem is by Robert Louis Stephenson-we looked him up, and he died on this date in 1894. It was a very odd coincidence!

Math: Homework and remembering 3-2, Math test signed by tomorrow, people with test corrections, they are due tomorrow. I wrote the formulas on the front of the test-you can use a calculator if you are having trouble multiplying.

Other:
Full Band
Popcorn money
Zurka note
Winter clothes

Today the class worked very hard in Spanish and Reading class to get work done. Thank you for the effort!

Homework:

Math: Get Math test signed if you didn't last night

Other: You need to wear a winter coat, hat and mittens tomorrow if you want to go outside for recess. If the weather is ever around 32 degrees this is a must. When it snows, then you need boots and snowpants.

Today we had an assembly on "responsibility" which is our character trait to focus on for second quarter. I have been talking to my class a lot about being responsible to do your best work. I have a lot of students in class that are rushing through work and it really shows. Thanks to all of the students who are really trying to do their best. They are great role models for the rest of the class.

Homework:

Math: Get Unit 2 Test signed and return tomorrow

Lang. Arts: Get essay signed and return tomorrow

Social Studies: Current events article due tomorrow

Other: The fund-raiser for Toys for Tots ends this Thursday-so bring in your change!

I also stapled incentive cards from November to the Math tests. I sometimes have the students initial their own cards. Most of the initials this month were from missing work, talking, and some fighting. If you have any questions, please let me know!
