PJ Party Tomorrow: Our class met our schoolwide goal of earning over 35 Dragon Dollars! The classrooms that have met the goal will be celebrating tomorrow with pajama and movie day. The children can wear school appropriate pajamas and bring a stuffed animal from home. We will be having the schoolwide movie playing for our class tomorrow afternoon. Because all of the third grade classes have met the goal, we will not be switching for math tomorrow.
Classroom Fall Celebration: We are ALMOST at our second classroom Dragon Dollar goal of earning 55 total Dragon Dollars. Way to go students!! Just a few more to go, which I am confident that we can get by next Tuesday. The students have asked about having a Fall Celebration for their Dragon Dollar celebration. This would be a great way to celebrate meeting our goal, plus ending the first quarter with a bang! Next Tuesday, October 30th we will have a small classroom celebration. We will do a fall craft and the children can bring in treats for their classmates. If you are sending in a snack, please remember it needs to be store bought and in it's original packaging. Also, please check the ingredients and make sure the snack is nut-free. Thanks so much in advance for any class donations.
Curriculum Notes: After last weeks assessment on parts of speech, I noticed that we need to spend more time working on this during word work. We will continue this week working with verbs, adverbs, adjectives, common and proper nouns and also learn about abstract nouns. We will also be learning about simple, compound and complex sentences.
In reading we will be learning how to identify the main idea and supporting details in a story. In writing, we are continuing to conference and publish. We will also begin writing a new piece.
In science we will be doing a fun colllaboration activity tomorrow with the third grade classes and Ms. Ridings. We will do a plant dance to show the life cyle of a plant.
Mr. Otto will be wrapping up his Social Studies unit over the next week with the children doing a five-fold art project as a culminating activity.
