Good morning,

 

This Week in Language Arts we are taking it slow because we have a short week this week and next week. Students will have the same spelling and vocabulary words for both this week and next week, and we will take the Language Arts test. Spelling test, and Vocabulary quiz all next week. Students should still complete spelling homework every night. We are working this week and next week on words that end with the sounds /ij/, /iv/, and /is/, conjunctions, stressed and unstressed syllables, and central idea.

 

In Math, we are continuing to work on adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with unlike denominators. This concept can be very tricky for some students. If your student needs extra practice, please let me know and I'm happy to give them IXL to practice. Students are taking the Chapter 6 quiz today, so homework will be a review paper.

 

This week in Science we are taking the lesson 7 test today. Starting Wednesday, we will go back one lesson to Lesson 6, and Ms. Giselle will be teaching that lesson with support and guidance from me. Ms. Giselle will also be teaching the last 3 Math lessons on Chapter 6. It's very important that students return the permission form that was sent out last week for consent to be recorded so that we will know who can and who cannot be in Ms. Giselle's videos for her classes. Please let me know if you have any questions about that. 

 

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Students are welcome to bring Valentines for their classmates, but please make sure if students are going to pass out Valentines during class time, they bring one for each student. We have some students in our class with severe nut allergies. Please do not bring anything that contains nuts. We also have students in our class that do not eat any pork products or geletin. Please be aware of that when you send your students with things to share.

 

We have a lot of birthdays coming up in our class. It is fine if your student wants to bring something to share with the class for that, but please make sure if you are bringing something like pizza or cupcakes, it does not arrive to the school at lunch time. When students have food to share in the cafeteria, it leads to arguments and hurt feeling when there is not enough to share with everybody. If you bring somegthing to share for a birthday, please check in with the school office and then bring it to the classroom. I also always appreciate when you let me know in advance.
