Hello everyone. This is the last day of February! How can that be possible? I hope you all had a great vacation. First time in ten years that I didn't go to Florida. We spent lots of hours on the house and several days outside in the snow. Also, lots of take-out! LOL!
If you go on face book, please find our classroom door and like it. It is on New Boston Central School Happenings. Our door is the "READ BOX". The kids worked very hard on it. In Wonders this week, we will be in unit 4 week 4. The spelling words are listed on the spelling page. We will have a spelling test on Friday. The words are very tricky so make sure the kids study. We will be moving to unit 5 in Everyday Math. It will be a review of subtraction and addition with a side of fractions. Please have the kids keep studying their multiplication facts. We will go back to fast math after vacation. In social studies, we will continue on our president unit for the month of March. Please have the kids do a reading counts test when they can and remember ixl in the spare time. We will be doing some fun days for the kids in March. I will let you know, when the days come up. I can't wait to see the kids tomorrow and Tuesday. We have a lot of catching up to do. I can't wait to hear about the vacation adventures. Have a great week everyone. Happy Valentine's Day to all. I hope you are all having a great weekend.
We had another fun party on Thursday and a great zoom class on Friday morning. This week in Wonders, we will be working on Unit 4-week 3. The spelling words are posted on the spelling page on this site. In math, we will be having a review on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, we will have our unit four assessment. Keep practicing those multiplication facts. Please remember that next week beginning on February 22nd is vacation week. We have been working very hard and we all deserve a break. The kids are very pumped about vacation. There is still time to donate on line to the heart association. Thank you to those who did donate. The kids had a blast in gym class doing all of the activities. This week we are switching back to art and we will be in the art room. We have started the president unit and we will continue for the next few months. We all know at least a couple of facts about our presidents now. We have a story about each president, story the first lady, a picture of their house, and a color picture of each president. Kids may choose to take their book home for reading. They may also do research at home. we will do the writing part in class. We are finishing up our opinion pieces this week, also. That is a long process. Thank you to those who gave me a valentine present or treat. . It was so appreciated. I hope the kids are enjoying their candy and eating it very slowly! The cards from the kids were so cute this year! The boxes were fun also. Please remember to have the kids do their reading counts tests. We are in a challenge with Mrs. Howe's class. We have until the end of February. The kids are very excited and motivated. I can't believe we only have two more weeks of February. The time has flown by this year. Have a great week everyone. Good Super Bowl Sunday morning to all. I hope you all enjoy the game. Just doesn't seem the same this year. Whatever mode you are watching in, I hope you all have fun. Don't stay up too late kids! I am going for Kansas City. It should be a great game.
We had a great zoom class on Friday. I really look forward to seeing all of the kids together. We will be starting Wonders reading unit 4-week 2 this week. The genre is realistic fiction. The spelling words are listed on the spelling page. The words are very tricky this week. We will work with them in class. We are almost ready to take our unit 4 assessment in math. We will review on Monday and Tuesday. Please have the kids keep studying their multiplication facts at least 20 minutes a day. Our threes and fours need work. We will finish up our opinion writing this week. The kids are doing a great job. Everyone now has a president to study. The kids are really into the presidents. They will learn so much. I have tons of resources in class for all kinds of information. The kids also have their own books on their president. They may do as much research as they want. Our parties will be held on Wednesday and Thursday of this week for Valentine's Day. The kids voted to do ice cream sundaes. I will get the ice cream, whipped cream, cherries and chocolate sauce. I have all the paper products also. If anyone wants to donate anything to the party, just make sure it is individually wrapped. If you would like to send in different toppings like chocolate chips, m&m's, gummy bears, crushed oreos, or anything of that nature, feel free to do so. The kids should bring in their valentines and the box or container that they created. The kids love Valentine's Day. Ranks right up there with the Christmas party. The kids are having fun in the snow and they have been very good about bringing in their snow gear. The big bags to put all of the gear in work out fine. This is our week for library. The kids may bring their books in and the librarians will give them new ones. Only two more weeks until February break. The kids are very excited. We have a new friend in the classroom. Troy the Troll is visiting for the next few weeks. Hopefully the kids told you all about him. He is helping us to be good students and great Bobcats. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. More snow is on the way. Stay healthy and safe. Have a great week. |
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
