Odds and Ends:
Parent teacher conferences with your child's math teacher will be held next week Mon and Tues, and Wed. . If you have not signed up and are interested in meeting with your child's math teacher, please email!
Valentine's Day: We will have a classroom celebration on Thurs. 2/13 from 1:30-2:15. We will be making our own decorated Valentine's bags to be used as our "mail boxes" for Valentines. If your child wishes to share Valentine's with his/her classmates, we have 22 students in our room. It is optional, however, if you share, we ask you bring enough for every student in the room. Your child will be taking home a class list today if they choose to personalize their cards (again, optional!) Any treats attached to the cards will be sent home to be enjoyed. Remember, we are a nut free classroom!* Oak Trace Retirement Field Trip: We will visit Oak Trace retirement home on Tues. 2/18. If your child has a book of puzzle, card game, or board game they would like to bring to play with a Senior Citizen, please send it to school with them on Tues. 2/18. Thanks!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
*Thurs. 2/13: Happy Valentine's Day! Spelling: 3 activities and test due
*Fri. 2/14: No School
*Mon. 2/17: No School: President's Day
*Tues. 2/18: Oak Trace Retirement Home Field Trip
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:
*Reading: We will continue to explore non fiction text features and structures. We will also work on writing informational papers as we start our culture day research. Your child should pick a country/culture from their own background to do research on and eventually present a culture day project on (more information coming home on that later). We will begin doing our research in class on Monday, so please have them choose a country from their own culture over the weekend. This is a connection to our social studies unit on culture and immigration and a great way for students to share about their own cultures to their classmates.
*Spelling: We will work with the same words from last week. 3 activities and a test are due on Thurs. 2/13.
*Science: We are working on traits and inheritance.
*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We began Unit 5 on Monday, learning more about the relationship between multiplication and division. We will take a break next week on fact fluency test's due to the short week, but we will pick up with 9's multiplication after the long weekend.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Olsen
