Classroom Newsletter: March 05, 2012

This Week

It was great meeting with those of you who were able to attend parent teacher conferences.  It is truly a joy to get to share with you all of the progress that your children have made this year.  Everyone has grown and improved over the course of the school-year, and it has been a pleasure to be a part of the learning process.

Please be sure to invite your grandfriends to join us for grandfriends day this Wednesday at 8:30.  A grandfriend can be any adult that is special to your child.  We will have chapel with refreshments to follow.  During this time, grandfriends may also take their loved one to the book fair.  Mrs. O’Brien will also have her own special grandfriends on hand : )

Please turn in your 1980s project by Friday.  We are still in need of interviews and photos of staff and students who attended Solomon in the 1980s.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated!  

Reading/Creative Writing

This week we are reading stories that happened long ago including Going to Town by Laura Ingalls Wilder.  We will compare life in the late 1800s to life today.  Next week we are starting literature circles.  In small groups, students will either read Dolphins at Daybreak or Knight at Dawn.  These are Magic Treehouse books by Mary Pope Osborne.  I am still in need of a few copies of each book so if your child has one of these two titles, please send them in.

Phonics/Language

Our topic of the week is singular and plural pronouns.  The sound of the week is the schwa sound.  We will identify the schwa sound in text and rhyming words.  

Math

We are continuing to take addition timed tests this week.  We will also finish our chapter on fractions.  Our end of chapter test is planned for Friday.

This Week’s Assignments

 It has been awhile since I have received reading logs from some students.  Keep turning those in for stickers!

Math homework Monday-Thursday

NO reading homework until after Mrs. Schultze’s projects are due



Have a great week,

Mrs. O’Brien
