Week of February 10-14

Important:

Please continue to sign your child's assignment books.

Next Tuesday we will be celebrating our 100^th day of SCHOOL! WOO HOO!

Friday is Valentine’s Day. We will be having a party starting at 1:30. Currently we still need one person to volunteer to help out with a game. If you are interested please email me.

Students may bring in Valentine’s Day cards for the class, however please just have them write their name only on them. This way we can put one in each person’s bag and they will not be specifically addressed.

Math
We will be moving to chapter 10:Fractions. We will start by making fraction rulers and talking about Fraction words. We will then focus on lesson 1 of fractions.

Spelling
We will be on List 18 this week. The Pretest is on Monday and the final test will be on Friday. If your child gets 0,1, or 2 wrong on the pretest they will have 2  challenge activities and the cursive sheet, they have the option to take the test on Friday. If they get more than 2 words wrong, they will have the regular work. (Cursive sheet and two assigned activities)  The homework is due on Thursday.

Reading
We will be continuing to work with the story Night of the Pufflings. There is a vocabulary quiz over the words on Wednesday 2/12.   We will also be working with the story to write extended responses in preparation for ISAT’s.

English
We have started writing our own autobiographies in class. We will continue writing them this week. When we finish our rough drafts, we will be typing them on google docs.
