Week of 9/20-9/24

This week in Room 204, we started Family Reading Wednesdays! Thank you to the parents who were able to come. If you couldn't make it, but you can come another Wednesday, always feel free to drop in between 9:10 and 9:40.

We have our first math test tomorrow (Friday), so look for those to come home next week. Homework seems to be going well, and I am working on getting it a little more organized so that parents are clear on which homework is assigned for each night. If you could make sure that you take all graded work out of the folder every night, that would be great!

We did a fun science experiment today where the kids got to experiment with blowing air on different items. You will find that they may bring home an odd assortment of things in a plastic bag. These are the things that we worked with in science today. Ask them what they discovered!

Family Reading Wednesdays!

Dear Room 204 families - On Wednesday mornings from 9:10 until about 9:40, we will be doing family reading. If you like, you can come in and read with your student. This is to promote family literacy and classroom community. You can bring a favorite book from home or choose one from our library and just sit and read with your student.

Hope to see you then!

Last week in Room 204 (9/13/10) and what's happening next week (9/20/10)

This past week, we started homework and had success in getting it back! It seems to have gone well at home. A few people even mentioned that their kids actually had fun with it. Yay! Please keep it up with reading and filling out the logs.

We started Environmental Science Classes with Mr. Hall on Thursdays. They are learning about weather and where it comes from. This goes nicely with science class, where we are starting a unit on air and weather. We did our first experiment this week with air bubbles in water, and it was fun!

We also started reading buddies with Ms. Tiglao's third graders on Friday, and they had a great time getting to know each other! Looking forward to continuing reading buddy time.

We continued with P.E. on Thursday afternoons and computers on Friday. We are learning to use Microsoft Word. We have been working on writing numbers and using tally marks in math, and we are moving towards our first unit test this week. The first spelling test was a smashing success, so keep up the good practice work!
