Weekly Reminder
January 11th - January 15th
A Note From Miss Gradone
- Throughout the week, the class and I have been having discussions about being a responsible student. There has been a growing problem with homework completion. Please make sure to check in with your child to make sure they are completing their assignments each night and getting the work in on time.
- The character trait of the month is acceptance. Talk with your children about what it means to truly accept others.
- Miss Gradone's students are becoming meteorologists! Everyday one students from our class will be responsible for preparing the weather report for the day. They will come in with the report prepared and will present it during the morning announcements over the loud speaker. Looking forward to hearing all of their wonderful speaking voices!
- Calling All Parents! There are many openings to come in to be a mystery reader. Please email me if you are interested in finding a day to come in. Readers typically come in at 2:00 on Fridays but can be flexible if need be.
Learn about what we are doing in class. . .
Math
In math, we worked a lot with making conversions and solving multi-step word problems! The class did a great job thinking critically and using their prior knowledge.
Reading & Writing
This week in literacy, we wrapped up our Persuasive unit. We read another debate call, "Should you Throw Away your Earbuds?" It was a great article to get the kids really thinking about the affects of using their headphones vs. earbuds. In writing, we finalized out book recommendations and took time to share!
Science & SS
This wee we focused on Social Studies. We went back in time to learn more about how people came to America and when the first slaves were brought over from Africa. Students learned about the Underground Railroad and the influential historical figure, Harriet Tubman.
