HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE!
Hope everyone is enjoying this final week in September. May our fall be just as joyous as our September.
We have had 3 great weeks of school thus far. I have been very impressed with all of my students. They are a creative group who seem to enjoy hands on projects and spending time in the computer lab working on their Newspaper articles. We are hoping to complete those this week and have them on display in the hall for all to enjoy.
Conferences are coming up here in a few weeks and I want to remind everyone to send in their top 3 time picks to meet with your child's teacher.
This week in Angelville:
Reading: I have posted on the blog what we will be doing in Maniac Magee this week. The reading work should be done in the classroom. If your child is bringing home reading work it is because they are not using their time wisely in the classroom during reading time.
Math: We have started Rocket Math. If your child does not pass their level of Rocket Math on the 4th try they will be bringing it home for you to sign. Please practice the multiplication and division facts with your child at home. This can be done, in the car, taking a walk and making dinner. We completed our bar graphs and they are on display outside our room.
LA: Front Page Newspapers
Religion: Finishing up how we use the Beatitudes in our St. Alphonsus community. Then, showing this in a Tear Art Design Project.
Social Studies: We will begin learning about the 5 themes of geography and using the 5 themes to better understand Washington.
Science: Life Cycle of a Salmon. Creating our own visual Life Cycles.
Reminders: Homework Packets are due Friday morning.
Hope you all enjoy this sun we have today!
God Bless,
Miz Schmutz

Dear Miz S,
I didn't see any comment on the daily reading you began this week. Is there a minimum amount of hours? A minimum number of pages?
Thank you for all that you do!
We appreciate you.
