What is going on?
HI-
Tomorrow is an assembly day. Please have our kids drop off their backpacks on the porch before they go in. Not in front of the door. :)
I was supposed to be out tomorrow for my cousin's graduation but now need to go to El Paso for a funeral.
Charity Haga will be our sub and she is absolutely wonderful. She will take great care of them and I have some fun stuff planned. Please contact the office if their are any last minute changes.
I am sending home a fraction review for their test next week. It is in their Thursday folder on yellow paper. These are the concepts that are covered on the test. Please have kids lookover a few times at home. Thanks!
Thank you and shout of to Annalise, Gage, Max, and Rebecca for bringing in craft supplies! We are so grateful for "making things happen!"
Mrs. Bendelin came into our classroom this week and made us traditional German cookies. So yum! She showed and explained to us German Christmas Traditions and artifacts. It was so wonderful!
Cogat Scores are going home today in Thursday folders: If you have questions there is a website on the backside of the page or you can contact Mr. Molina.
Dear Parents/Guardian:

Next week:
Reading: We will read and respond to winter holiday literature focusing on analyzing characters and comparing literary elements.
Writing: We will be using our accumulated writing knowledge to complete a variety of Holiday writing activities.
Spelling: No Test
Grammar: None
Science: As we continue to focus on resources, we will read several books which detail the process a natural resource goes through to become an man-made resource.
Math: We will wrap up our learning about equal fractional parts: halves, fourths, and eighths. Students will be counting fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognizing how many parts it takes to equal one whole. Students need to understand that the more fractional parts there are, the smaller the piece. Example: halves would be larger than sixths because ½ is a whole cut in two pieces while ⅙ is a whole cut in six pieces. We will have a fraction test before the break.
This and That..
