Updates Room 205!

WE. ARE. AWESOME!

Our class has earned 47 Outstanding awards! Each time we accumulate ten Outstandings we vote on what teambuilding activity we would like to do.

This time we voted to have lunch together in our classroom on Friday, February 14. I offered to collect money and order pizza for those who would like to have pizza brought in. Pizza will be $1.00 per slice and your child may order two slices if they choose to. I will be ordering on Thursday at the end of the day so please have money sent in by then. 🙂

Below is a link I would like every parent to fill out so I know how to plan for the kids.

Order Form

Please have your children bring in their choice of beverage and pack their usual snacks for the day. Sack lunch and ordering hot lunch is always an option if your child does not want to order pizza.

A Busy Two Day Week!

Writing:

  • Many students had to finish up their Interpretive Essays this weekend for our Writing Celebration on Monday afternoon.  Check with your child to see if they have any revising, editing or publishing still to do.
  • On Monday morning the kids will be doing their Informational On Demand writing. Please remind your child that they should be thinking about a subject that they have studied or know a lot about.  Tomorrow they will be writing an informational text that teaches others interesting and important information and ideas about that topic. If they want to find and use information on this topic from a book or other outside sources they may bring that with them tomorrow.  Please keep in mind that this a student driven assignment that is done in one session to show me what they know about informational writing.  These pieces of writing help guide my instruction for our upcoming writing unit. 🙂

READING CELEBRATION On Tuesday!!

At the beginning of the month we set a class goal for reading.  We more than exceeded our class goal of 14,500 minutes by the third week of November.  Yippee!  We will celebrate by having a Comfort Cozy Tuesday and spend the morning playing board games! 🙂  

We will set a new goal for the month of December and will start counting minutes again beginning on November 25 – December 16.

We also are having a reading competition for the amount of minutes read by a team in the month of November.  The winning group will have a Pizza lunch with the teacher, on Tuesday, November 26.  It’s a close reading race with the Book Blasters and Book Burners in the lead, but any team can still win!  We will find out our result tomorrow! Good Luck and Happy READING!!
