CRES Fest Silent Auction Classroom Basket - COLTS BASKET
CRES Fest is the second of only TWO PTO sponsored fundraisers for 2014-2015. More than 20 theme baskets (one from each classroom) will be a part of a silent auction at this year's CRES Fest. Our class theme is COLTS. We are asking you to donate an item or items related to the class theme. Some ideas include: jersey, shirt, sweatshirt, football, mug, key chain, pillow, blanket, game, etc. that is COLTS related.
If you don't want to shop, send a check made out to CRES PTO with 'theme baskets' in the memo section and PTO will do the shopping for you.
Basket donations can be dropped off now through March 20!
Reading Workshop
Word Study
We will continue to study CONTRACTIONS - two words put together with some letters taken out and connected by an apostrophe. Contractions are shorter ways to say two words. We will focus on the words with not and is. For example, have + not = haven't and she + is = she's .
Sight Words:
away, animal, house, point, page
Practice your words using Spelling City:
Writing Workshop
We will be writing our very own Fable! We have been working hard over the past couple weeks reading and studying fables. Now we will be brainstorming animal characters to use in our story along with a setting, problem, and solution for our fable. We will also be adding in a lesson that the character will learn in our fable.
Math
Science - PBL WEATHER UNIT
We are starting to collect data for our Weather Unit by measuring the temperature and taking picture of the cloud cover. In 1 week, we will begin our Project Based Learning Unit over Weather and bring in a meteorologist to share about their job. If you or anyone you know has expertise in the field of weather, please let me know. I would love to have you help and share during this unit. The students will also be needing a composition notebook for this unit. Please bring one in by March 13th.
