Weekly News and Updates

I hope everyone is enjoying fall and the fall weather. As I've said before it is my favorite season!

We continue to stay very busy and we are still trying to settle into a good routine. I am hoping to set up a volunteer schedule and send it home next week. If you are available at a set time weekly please let me know so I can include you. Our homework schedule is a set schedule and it is the same weekly. Please check the FROG Binder for the homework assignment sheet and the Walker's Weekly for important news and assignments. Also with keeping and ensuring a routine it is very important that a note is sent before a planned absence or early dismissal. I can change our schedule or prepare makeup work if I know ahead of time that a student will be missing class time. Our math series covers a new skill daily so everyday is very important.

We're starting another week of learning and it is so close to fall break! We have to stay focused and then we'll be ready for a long, enjoyable break! This week we will work on reading, building, and breaking apart contractions. We will review reality/fantasy stories and how they are different. Our focus in Language will be proper nouns. We will constantly strive for reading with fluency, accuracy, and expression. This takes practice. In math we will begin money. It is very, very, very important that your child can identify coins and their value. We will jump right in to counting up the value of coins to a dollar. This can easily be practiced just by letting your child count change around the house, or by having them count out the money needed for purchases. Please continue to practice Rocket Math.

Thursday is Mr. Creasy Day. Mr. Creasy is retiring. He is veteran and an important part of our school. We will all need to wear red, white and blue on Thursday. Please feel free to make him a card.

Friday is Ms. Tate Day. Friday is her last day. You may write her notes, draw pictures, or just tell her how much we will miss her.

Friday is our behavior movie and ticket auction. Please, remember to send in auction items.

Let's have a great week!

Friday we had Apple Math

We had so much fun Friday collecting data using our apples. We weighed our apples, found the circumference, observed our apples by using our senses, and finally graphed our favorite apples by using the data collecting survey from our class blog.
