This Week
A great big “thank you” to those who attended and supported the book fair and grandfriends day. We truly appreciate all that you do for our school. We have another action packed week ahead with many fun and exciting events and activities. Tuesday we will be visited by local author Diane Terry. She will talk to the kids about writing and how she made her book The Bubble Gum Fairy. Saturday is the 150th dinner dance at Ole Zimms. Please return any unsold tickets ASAP. Join us on Sunday for worship and our “a walk through time” open house. I truly appreciate all of the help you have given me with our 1980’s theme! The posters and interviews are great and I can’t wait to see it all put together. I couldn’t have done it without your help!
Reading/Creative Writing
This week we are starting literature circles with Magic Treehouse books. We will read a chapter or two a day and each child will have a daily “job” to contribute to the discussion of the book. The jobs they will perform reinforce skills already learned including, summarizing, making connections, responding to literature and defining unfamiliar words. There will also be an end of unit Benchmark test on Friday.
During creative writing we will finish our “How to Catch a Leprechaun” stories that we started last week.
Phonics/Language
Since the focus of the week is literature circles, phonics and language skills will be review.
Math
We are continuing to take addition timed tests this week. We will start a new chapter on measurement. Topics of the week are yards, meters, feet and decimeters. Inches and centimeters should be review.
