I hope everyone had a great weekend. I am enjoying our company from New York. It was fun celebrating my nephew Chris's birthday and Uncle Bill's birthday. Tonight we will top it off with an Italian feast.
Thank you everyone who contributed to the Valentine's party. The sundaes were delicious and the kids had a blast. Jumping rope for the Heart Association was also fun. Thank you to all who contributed to this great cause. We have one more week to get through and then we will have a well deserved vacation. The class had a great time with their buddies at the Historical Society. We learned a lot about the day in the life of a first and third grader in the 1800's. The kids were shown plenty of interesting items and they heard lots of good stories. This week, we will be starting Unit 4 week 1 in Wonders. The focus will be on folktales. On to Unit 5 in Math where we will tackle fractions and continue to learn our multiplication tables. Some of us are really going to town on our fast math. We will be introducing energy and force in Science and we just finished up a unit in Social Studies where we learned all about map scales. The weather sounds challenging these next couple of days so please listen for delays in the am. Have a great week everybody! This week we will begin Wonders Unit 4 week 1. New spelling words will be posted on the Spelling page. I hope everyone had a great weekend. The weather was decent and maybe there is a snow event happening this week.
On Thursday, we will be having our Valentine's Party. The party will take place at 1:00. Thank you everyone who signed up to bring goodies. The kids should be finishing up their valentine boxes at home. They may bring them in anytime after they are finished. In Wonders this week we will be doing Expository Text. It is a great story about the history of the railroad. It is Unit 3 week 5. In Math, we will be finishing up area and perimeter. We will do a day's review and take our unit test on Wednesday. Please keep the kids practicing their facts at home. We are enjoying fast math. It is a a great incentive for multiplication. Don't forget that we will be jumping rope on Thursday, at 10:35 in the gym. Please don't forget to send in your pledges if you are participating. On Friday at at 10:00, we will be going on our field trip to the New Boston Historical Society with our first grade buddies. They always welcome us with open arms. The kids love it. We just started the "Wayside School" series for read aloud. The kids are loving it. Ask them about it. Have a good week everyone. If you are free Thursday please join us in the afternoon. I hope everyone had a great weekend. The big game is ready to start, so enjoy everyone. So exciting.
This week we will begin a new theme in Wonders. Unit 3 week 4. We will read Ideas in Nature which is expository text. In math we continue to work with perimeter and area. Our fast math is working out fine. Please make sure the kids are studying their math facts each night. 3's and 4's are a big priority. We are trying to line up a field trip to the Historical Society with our first grade buddies. We will let you know the date and time. This has become a tradition for us. Our Valentine Party will be on the 14th in the afternoon. I think the kids would like to do ice cream sundaes with all of the toppings. The room moms will let you know what to sign up for. I will send home a class list this week for spelling first names. Please don't forget the Jump Rope For Heart drive. That will take place on the 14th in the morning. It is a great cause. We are enjoying our read a loud "James and The Giant Peach". The kids love Roald Dahl books. We have learned to use a map scale this week. We have measured distances all over the United States. Have a great week everyone. Stay healthy. |
I Believe...Let the kids be kids. Every child has a strength. It is up to the teacher to find it or tap it so they can work to their highest potential. I tend to set the bar very high. Lifetime memories should be made in the classroom and at school. NBCS should be a place where kids enter happy and go home with a smile on their face. I want my kids getting up in the morning begging to go to school! Archives
