Happy Read Week!

Read week is always a great week filled with family and friends that show us how funny, inspiring, and important all books can be. Thank you to everyone who came to read to our class! They loved every read aloud and very much enjoyed seeing everyone during the school day.

Pizza Party- Thursday, March 14

On March 14, we will be having our class pizza party. Each student will be provided 2 pieces of pizza, a healthy side of either a fruit or vegetable, chips, and a dessert. They can bring a 20 oz or smaller drink to have while they eat (no glass please!). Also, we will be eating lunch later than normal for our pizza party. We're very excited to each lunch with all of our students and celebrate them with the pizza party!

Runge Field Trip Chaperones

In your student's Friday Folder, you will find a sheet that you can fill out to volunteer to be a chaperone for our field trip to Runge Nature Center in Jefferson City on May 10, 2019. This field trip is all day, and it is a ton of fun! We need parent chaperones to join us on the field trip :) In order to be a chaperone, CPS policy states that each chaperone must have a background check before the field trip. These background checks take a while to process which is why we are asking for chaperones to complete those now. For more information, the sheet to turn in to let us know if you can chaperone, and for information on how to complete the background check, check out your student's Friday Folder!

Doodle for Google

Also in your student's Friday Folder, you will find a "Doodle for Google" that students have worked on in art class. If you would like your student to participate in the contest for "Doodle for Google" complete the form in their Friday folder.

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who made a banner for our students! This helps each student feel celebrated as an individual in our classroom community, so thank you for taking the time to make the banners. We will post pictures on our Twitter when those have been hung up :)

Look at All This Learning!

• Math
• This week, we've used what we've learned about measurement to create line plots of our class arm-span and our class long jump. We also worked on adding more than 2 numbers together. Next week, we will continue take our unit test on Tuesday and start a unit on shapes.
• Writing
• As we continue to work on our "Which is Better" informational books, this week we focused on our body paragraphs. The students worked on their goals they made in their last informational book and had the chance to read their writing to other students. Next week, we are starting to work on our opinion writing.
• Fundations
• In our spelling program, we continue to learn about different long vowel patterns. The students are working hard at looking in their Monster Book (mini dictionary) for their spelling options in both the Fundations time and in their own writing.
• Reading
• For Read Week, we learned about the importance of reading for enjoyment, reading to learn, and reading for inspiration in our everyday lives. The students (and teachers) loved being able to celebrate reading through our different dress up days and through the many special people who gave us the opportunity to read 44 different books! Thank you again to everyone who participated!
• Next week, we will continue to work on asking and answering questions in nonfiction and fiction texts.
