Classroom Newsletter: March 19, 2012

This Week

We have another fun and exciting week ahead as we look forward to our Winterim trip.  Thursday we will go to a movie theatre to see “The Lorax” and out to lunch.  We will be gone for most of the school day for this trip and it should be a very enjoyable day for all.  

Reading/Creative Writing

This week we will finish our literature circles with the Magic Treehouse books.  Overall, the students have done a good job of completing assignments, however we are still working on personal responsibility.  We will also take a couple of reading assessments  as we prepare for the end of the third quarter.

During creative writing time, our focus will be using quotation marks to indicate dialogue.  We will also work on editing as it is important for students to learn how to catch their writing mistakes.

Math

This is our last week of addition timed tests.  Next week, we will start subtraction.   Our measurement chapter has gotten off to a slower start than I expected.  Any additional practice with a ruler at home will be greatly appreciated.  

This Week’s Assignments

Any unfinished literature circle jobs become homework.  They should be completed in Mrs. Schultze’s room during silent reading

Math homework Monday-Thursday

Have a great week,

Mrs. O’Brien
