NEWS

 

 

WE MADE IT THROUGH TWO FULL WEEKS (EXCEPT FOR ME, I CHICKENED OUT ON FRIDAY!).  HOPEFULLY THAT WAS OUR "ONION SNOW" FOR THE YEAR.

 

WE WILL CONTINUE WITH OUR STORY, "THE CLASS PET." WE WILL STUDY VERBS (WHEN TO ADD AN -S AND WHEN NOT TO ADD).  WE WILL DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FACT AND OPINION.  WE WILL PRACTICE WORDS WITH THE OR/ORE SOUND.  WE WILL ASSESS THIS STORY ON THURSDAY. 

 

THE SPELLING PRACTICE TEST WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY.  CHILDREN WHO NEED TO RETEST WILL DO SO ON THURSDAY.

 

WE WILL CONTINUE TOPIC 9 IN MATH AND WE WILL COMPARE NUMBERS (GREATER THAN & LESS THAN) AND PUT NUMBERS IN ORDER FROM LEAST TO GREATEST.  WE WILL ALSO TEST ON TOPIC 9 ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

 

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO DONATE TO THE PTO'S CHINESE AUCTION CAN SEND IN DONATIONS UNTIL FRIDAY, MARCH 27TH.  THE CHILDREN PICKED THE THEME "CATS & DOGS" AND, SO FAR, DONATIONS ARE FAVORING THE DOGS.  PEOPLE HAVE SENT IN DOG TOYS, TREATS AND A LEASH.  I AM GOING TO PUT THE DONATIONS IN A NEW PET BED THAT I DONATED ALONG WITH SOME CAT/DOG SUPPLIES.  I THINK THIS MAY TURN OUT TO BE A POPULAR THEME.
