Classroom News

I have been so impressed with our class this week.  They have collaborated well in pairs and small groups, focused on lifting the level of their writing, and put in great effort with all classroom work.

As a result of all of this wonderful work, we easily earned our next classroom celebration this week.  Our class voted for a combination of a short video and Comfy Cozy Day for Tuesday afternoon.  Students can wear pajamas or other comfortable clothes on this day.  Please remind your child to wear comfortable shoes and not slippers, in case we have a fire drill.  I will also bring in a special snack on Tuesday.

We finished our weather unit with a fun review of the water cycle using movement.  In small groups, we brainstormed ways to show evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.  Each group worked together so well and chose great ways to show their learning.  We were even able to guess the type of precipitation based on  their movements. Finally, each group put all of the parts together in one continuous cycle and performed for the class.  Today, we took our end of unit assessment.  Next week, we will start on our next exciting unit about Forces and Magnets!  We are excited!

Please remember to help your child wear or pack warm outdoor clothing.  An extra pair of socks or mittens would be helpful.

January homework was sent home last week and is due back on Friday, January 31st.  Please let me know if your child needs help on an assignment or needs an extra reading log.

There is no school for students on Monday, January 21st and Tuesday, January 22nd.

I am including a book order in your child's Friday Folder.  Please return your order or complete your online order by Wednesday, January 22nd.  Our classroom code is J3G6C for online orders.  I am also including a coupon with this order.

Have a great weekend!
