Monday Memo
November 3, 2014
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We ended our week
with a costume parade at the Belmond Care Center/Belle Haven. They are always
so good to us and we thank them for always thinking of us!! We think they are
great too!! We came back over and had our annual Jacobson Costume Parade. I
would like to thank Mrs. Gonzalez and Mrs. Andrade for the food/drinks!! We
really enjoyed them!! It is hard to
believe that it is November already. It is starting to get pretty chilly
outside!
This week we are finishing up on our American Stories
theme. We will be reading a selection about Amelia Earhart. We will also be
finishing up on our “Freedom: What it
means to Me” essay that we are writing for the annual VFW contest. I will send
these essays in and each of the students will receive a dollar for
participating as well as possible awards for the top three placers. This week
is a review week of proper nouns, possessive nouns, singular nouns, common
nouns and plural nouns. Our spelling words will be sent home tomorrow. I hope
to get this review unit finished by the end of the week. I have given all of
the students the book The Jacket by
Andrew Clements to read by November 15th. It is a short book, so
hopefully they will have it done before the 15th and then can read a
library RC book before the 15th. The requirement is to have one quiz
passed by the 15th to receive a 3. To get a 4, they need to read and
pass at least one more by then. I will give them a new book on the 15th.
Thanks for having them read at least 15 minutes each night!!
We will be finishing up on our first module for our new
math series. Next week, we should be starting our second module which will have
us working with the metric system. We also do daily reviews in math and our
daily multiplication sheets. I appreciate you working with your child on these
each night!! It is paying off!!
We tested last week over our Animal Adaptations chapter
in Science. This week we will be working on the plant growth and adaptations
chapter. We will be talking about life support for plants, the functions of
plant parts, and plant life cycles.
Thanks for all you do to help me with your child’s
education! As always, please call with any questions or concerns!!
Sincerely,
Chris Mallen
