Week of August 29th-September 2nd

This week will be our first early release.  Dismissal will begin at 1:40 pm.

We are happy to welcome 3 new resource teachers for Art, Music, and PE.  This will mean that our children will be able to go to resources more often!  This week for resource, students will be completing their resource baseline assessments.


If you have not joined PTA please consider joining! The homerooms with the most participants joining will win a reptile party!  Mrs. Ray's homeroom has 6 members so far and Ms. Tiberio's has 7!  Superhero shirts were worn proudly on Friday!


Academics:

ELA: What a busy week we had in ELA!  This week we will have the following work jobs due on Friday! Vocabulary ticket with a test Friday.  RRJ with chat groups due Friday.  We will have a social studies ticket due Friday as well.  Students will work on these tasks in the classroom and finish at home if not completed by Friday.
We will have a mid-unit Reading test on Wednesday to go along with our Human Rights/government topic.  Students will read an article and complete questions using the rules and expectations we have been learning the past two weeks.


Secret phrase winners were: Alejandra and Alexandra!  These two young ladies got to visit the Bin Of Happiness! This week's secret phrase is "Reading Rocks"! Write it on a sticky with your name and turn it into Mrs. Ray.


Ridge brought in a project he did this summer on a book he read about Tasmanian Devils vs Wolverines!  We enjoyed hearing about these two interesting animals and seeing your poster, Ridge!  Way to be productive over the summer!

Math: This week in math we will compare decimals using <, >, =.  We will also round decimals to given place value.  Students will take the Mid-module assessment for these lessons on Wednesday.  We will then add and subtract decimals for the rest of the week.  At the bottom of this blog post you will find helpful videos to assist with the homework, if your child needs additional support.

Science:  We will wrap up our discussion on Chapter 1 this week.  Students will have their first test for science on Thursday.
