March 9, 2020

We had a great week last week celebrating Read Across America Week!! Thank you to all that contributed to our celebration with snacks or coming to read!! You made it an awesome week!!

This week as we get back into the swing of things, we will be taking our STAR test tomorrow! (It should have been last week, but the flooding of a couple of rooms made the computer unavailable to us!) I can't wait to see how much they have improved!! I will be sending home the growth charts for you to see! Let me know if you have any questions about those.

This week we will be reading the story "Busy Bees."  We will test on this story Friday, Mar.13th.
We will be working on fluency with page 87.  This will be a great page for you to practice at home with your child this week.

In grammar, we got off track last week (sorry about that), so we moved our test to this Thursday on pronouns.... regular pronouns and reflexive pronouns. We will also be reviewing contractions..to be tested next week.

Spelling/phonics-This week we are learning the /oo/ sound and prefixes re- and non-.  Our test will be on Friday.  Words with the prefix re- mean to do it again. Exp. repay means to pay again.  Words with non- mean to not.  Exp. nonstop means to not stop.

In social science we will finish up our study of penguins and our practice project.  We will begin our own projects on an animal they chose themselves.  They will present their projects to the class next week.

Please remember that Thursday is Spring Picture Day.  Wednesday, Mar. 11th, is the last day to pay for our field trip coming up next week to the Pine Mountain Zoo! We are so excited!!

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Mrs. Kim
