Week of January 9
Students were surprised today to see three new computers added to our classroom! These computers came from the MSUFCU where Mr. Murphy, the Technology Director, got a very good deal. We will use these computers to practice reading and math skills, do research, and develop 21st century learning skills. We’re so excited.
We are back to the Treasures reading series this week. That means there will be a reading assessment and spelling test on Friday, January 13. The selection this week is called One Riddle, One Answer (Unit 3, Week 2). The genre is a fairy tale and we will focus on Plot and Setting for the comprehension skill. Students also have a Vocabulary Study Sheet in their mail today. There are six words in the packet. Three of those words will be tested on Friday.
A Scholastic book order was sent home on Friday. If you would like to take advantage of the great prices, you may order on-line or send in an order form. Checks should be made to Scholastic. The book orders are due on Monday, January 16.
There will be a science test on Chapter 8, Changes on Earth, on Friday, January 13. Students have a summary sheet from the lessons, the vocabulary words are on the blog, and we will do a Jeopardy review on Thursday.
Mrs. Kibbey, the art teacher, needs your help. She is planning an Art Show for the evening of February 29. She needs help to hang the art on the evening of 27th and 28th. She could also use a parent or two weekly to help in class and to take down and put up art. If you can help, please call her (641-6771 ext. 2303) and leave a message or email her: dkibbey@bathschools.net.
