We are having another productive week. I know that Spring Break is just around the corner, but if you could just give them a little reminder in the morning to be active listeners, I would greatly appreciate it.
Tomorrow we are having some visitors in our classroom during our Math lesson. We are working on angles, faces, a vertex, and 3-dimensional shapes. I have asked the children to make sure they are in dress code. If their shorts or pants have a belt straps, then they should be wearing a belt. Whether girl or boy, unless a dress is being worn, their shirts must be tucked in at all times. Thank for helping me with this. I do find that a child's appearance can sometimes dictate attitude and behavior.
Tonight's homework is as follows:
Spelling- Study words and dictation for test on Friday
Math- Workbook page 137
Leprechaun Sentence Sheet
Handwriting practice
Please try and have your child log in their Idita-read minutes at home as much as possible. This helps to eliminate the confusion in class. The computers are here for them to use, but today particularly it consumed their thoughts with having to log on their minutes.
We did complete an acrostic poem on George Washington complete with portrait. The children found a tremendous amount of facts about our first president. The objective was to learn not only new facts about him, but to make sure that we were using facts and not writing opinions.
Thank you for your help with the Peppy Pepper experiment. We had many scientists that took it to another level in using other items in the water and with the detergent. It made for quite the class discussion. I will be sending home another experiment tomorrow entitled, Using Our Senses to Detect Changes in Apple Cider Vinegar. They will have over spring break to complete this one. Once you get it going, you just leave it in a sunny windowsill for a few days. That way if you are planning on taking a trip, you won't have to worry about it... other than the smell perhaps.
