Monday Memo
January 18, 2016
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great
weekend. We learned a lot from our library lesson from Mrs. Streigel. They are
learning how to use the AEA Library Online page. Such a great resource for the
kids! We also had Counselor Johnson this week. She has been talking to the kids
about the different types of bullying. The kids earned their PBIS reward and so
they were treated to a movie on Friday morning. It was also National Hat Day,
which made it fun for them to be able to wear hats for the day!! Just a
reminder that this week we are dismissed at 1:00 for our teacher inservice.
Our story this for our
problem solvers unit this week is entitled “Marvin of the Great North Woods”.
It is the story of a 10 year old boy who has to live with a group of loggers in
Minnesota due to an epidemic in his hometown. We will be talking about the
following skills throughout this story:
Vocabulary, Comprehension, Questioning Techniques, and Note Taking. Our
grammar skill this week is over the use of irregular verbs. Our spelling list
is attached to this memo. The students were to have Sarah, Plain and Tall read by Friday, January 15th. Many
of read the first few books in this delightful series. Those that passed the
quiz, got their new RC book, which was their choice of a library book. That
book needs to be completed by January 29th. I will give them a new
book at that time. Keep having them read for at least 20 minutes each night!!
Hopefully if they always do that, it will become a life-long skill for them!!
We didn’t get our social
studies chapter finished in time for a test last week. So, the plan now is to
send home the study guide on Tuesday, with the test on Wednesday. We will start
on science again after the test..
For Math, we are
continuing on our multiplication problem solving with area and perimeter. Have
your children keep working on their facts so that they are memorized. That will
help them enormously with this problem solving unit. We keep working on our
daily reviews and our daily multiplication practice.
As always, please feel
free to call me with any questions/concerns!
Have a great week!
