Field Day News
MAY 26, 2015
Grades K-2: 9 a.m - 11 a.m.
Grades 3-5: Noon - 2pm
Field day will be here before we know it. It is a sign that summertime is getting closer. Field day will allow for over 1,000 students to enjoy games with their classmates and celebrate the friendships they have made in a physically active way.
We need volunteers, items donated and items borrowed. Please consider donating your time and volunteering to help with field day. This is a great opportunity for returning home college students, grandparents, and other community members to be involved at LMES. If you can not volunteer we can still use your help. We need icee pops and cases of water donated for field day. In addition we need to borrow (just for the day) tailgating tents and cornhole games. If you can help in any of these ways complete the FIELD DAY VOLUNTEER FORM found on Mrs. Plemmons' Webpage.
Language Arts
This week we are peer editing and revising our research papers and preparing to publish.
The spelling lesson this week is on the prefix un, as in unlucky or unhappy. Today we talked about the prefix un meaning "not," and discussed how it changed words.
Math
This week we will continue to work in chapter 7 of My Math, which is subtracting three digit numbers. This morning we worked with subtracting numbers that required students to regroup in both the tens and hundreds places. We did not get as far with this lesson as I would have liked, so there is no math homework tonight. We will complete the lesson tomorrow and have more of an opportunity to practice, and I will send home the homework for lesson 6 on Tuesday.
