Another busy week, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in a day to get everything done that we need to.
We have switched back to social studies this week. The students will go back to science with Ms. Schmidt at the end of 3rd quarter. We picked up where we left of with our Galleon unit. This unit is our explorers. The students are about halfway across the ocean to the New World. The completed Log Entry 3 this week, ask them to tell you about it.
In Writer's Workshop we have been spending the last few weeks working on conventions. The students had a grammar quiz last week.
In Reading we are continuing to build our stamina in Read to Self. We did not have spelling words this week because of the short week.
Conferences are coming up and these will be student lead. The kids will have a chance to practice the conference a few times with each other before the Main Event!! I look forward to seeing all of you.
Have a great weekend!!!

January 4-8
It was a great week back to school. It took a little time for us to get back into our routines, but once we did it was like we never left.
The students took their NWEA Language Usage test this week. They worked very hard and took their time on the test. Ask your child how they did.
In Writer's Workshop the students worked on conventions. They had five to ten sentences each day that they needed to correct. The focus was on capitalization, punctuation, spelling, and grammar.
During Language Arts the students built stamina in Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Word Work. On Friday we meet with our Kindergarten Buddies. The students also worked with analogies, author's viewpoint, and making inferences this week.
Math the focus continued to be on multiplying and dividing decimals, measurement, and prime factorization.
We also had an all school Pakrat Celebration on Friday afternoon. If your child made the 400 minute club they will bring home a certificate and a SPRITE.
Stay war this weekend!!
