A Marvelous Monday! :)

RBE Showcase! :)
Wow!  Thank you SO much for taking the time out of your very busy days to visit our classroom today for the RBE Showcase the kiddos worked SO hard on researching something of interest to them in either the area of health or dinosaurs.  If you were not able to make it - your child is bringing home their presentation of their published book, poster and their prepared speech - so have them share with you tonight!  Be sure to check out all of our pictures of the students presenting their research!

This Week
This week we are working on identifying the theme of a book during reading.  In math, we are continuing to work on subtraction with regrouping.  In writing, we are finishing up our informational writing unit with a "post test" of researching and writing a book on tulips.  This will be done completely independently.  The students have independently wrote 2 informational books already in this unit.

Homework
Your child's reading response this week is to read a short informational piece about Lead Year and take notes on the article (main idea & 3 details).  Please remember that your child is expected to read for at least 15 minutes  and complete one section of the math homework each night.

Friday Folders & Conferences
Friday Folders will be coming home on Friday.  I did not send them home last week since I was meeting with families for Parent/Teacher Conferences.  I also wanted to thank everyone for making an effort to come to your child's 2nd Trimester conference.  Our class is at 100% - thank you for taking the time & effort to meet with me!
