Hello Spring and Fourth Nine Weeks!!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break only to come back to school for a short week! Friday, April 6 will be our second and final weather day so enjoy! :)
READING
The letter this week will be "y" as in "yarn."
The word wall words for this week are better, called, calling, those, yes, and doing.
LANGUAGE
We will review all rules learned since this will be a short week of school.
MATH
We will begin Ch. 15, Solid Figures and Plane Shapes. Children will learn to identify and sort spheres, cones, cubes, cylinders, rectangular prisms and pyramids as well as relate them to everyday objects. I love what all they come up with! The children will also sort and classify solid figures by the number of faces and vertices. This is going to be a F-U-N chapter. We will not finish this week so we will continue and test the following week.
REMINDERS
Monday, April 2 ~ Nancy's Italian Ice
Thursday, April 5 ~ Report Cards
Standardized testing will begin Monday, April 9 for third-fifth grade students, so please make plans to be at school on time. :) Our schedules will be FROZEN, which means no volunteers in the morning. To help encourage and get the students who are testing EXCITED, we all will participate in a daily special theme.
Monday ~ Wear your sunglasses as we "SHINE BRIGHT" on testing!
Tuesday ~ Wear your baseball hat or visor as we "HIT A HOMERUN" on the test!
Wednesday ~ Wear your craziest socks as we "SOCK IT" to testing!
Thursday ~ Wear your Blount shirt of other favorite team jersey as we "TEAM UP" for testing!
During testing kindergarten -second grade has been assigned an upper grade class to get treats for throughout the week. We are paired up with Mrs. Huffman's fourth graders and will need to send them a small treat on Monday and Wednesday of next week. Please let me know if you would like to help donate a treat. Small treats like smarties or blow pops are GREAT!
As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns and have a WONDERFUL week!
Kristin :)
