Week 5

Reminders for the week:
  • Thank you so much for your hard work at already getting pledges. Last week, on our pledge tally day our class came in second! We were very excited! Please keep trying to get pledges as we are still $400 under our class goal. We will be having another pledge tally day this Wednesday. 
  • Fitness-a-thon is on Friday! Students will be coming to school in their gym strip so they are ready to participate in the fitness stations. Also please note we are dismissed at NOON on this day. An early start to the long weekend!
  • CISVA Cross Country Meet is on Wednesday. Only certain students are going and they would have received information from Mr. Klaponski.
  • Wednesday is also Hot Lunch
  • If you would like to order Scholastic please send it to me by Friday. You are now able to pay online, but you will have to look under Kranabetter as I have not changed my scholastic account to Schock yet. I will let you know when I do. 
Weekly Work
  • Spelling Bingo is due on Friday
  • I will be sending home Sight Words this week for children who need the practice. There will be information sent along with them.
  • We are well on our way to establishing our Writer's Workshop. We are now writing for over 15 minutes at a time! We will soon be starting writing groups and conferences where I will pull students to work on a specific skill.
  • We are also working hard on establishing our Literacy Centers/Daily 5 routines. On Friday everyone read for 14 minutes. We have also learned more about how to Read with Someone, and what Listen to Reading is.
