Hi Families,
I have just a few items to share this week. First, I want to thank all the parents that accompanied us on our Oak View field trip. The kids had a wonderful time and all the extra help, hands, and eyes were great.
In Monday Folders:
- Recommended on-line games for EOG - keep close by! These will be assigned for homework once we get going on review.
- Year book envelopes- cost $17.00 checks made out to Strawbridge Studios
Book Clubs: We have began fourth quarter book clubs. I use these to help the students put into practice and integrate all of the literature standards we have learned this year. We have specific reading deadlines and work that goes along with the reading. Your child may be bringing home the book to catch up, although I do provide extra reading time in class (building that stamina). Please help remind your child to book their book and reader's response journals back into their backpacks nightly. It is very important that they have their books in class daily. I will not be assigning other reading homework at this time, to allow for extra book club work at home.
EOG Homework: Next week, I will begin sending a 3 page math packet home for homework, due on Friday. This packet is EOG basic skill review. If at all possible, please have your child do the homework and return it as it will be the basis for our review on Fridays. I will not assign other math homework during this time. Please continue to work on multiplication and division fluency, telling elapsed time, and ten marks as time and energy permit. Also re-read the post from last week for further ideas for EOG prep.
Classroom Items Needed: We are in need of yellow number 2 pencils and thin highlighters and would appreciate any donations.
