ANNOUNCEMENTS

On Stationery List-  it said 8 black dry erase markers and expo white board care - That is a mistake   Do not purchase them.

Bathroom times when we go as a class--most likely once in the AM and once in the PM. 

Mrs. Karyn Confer from Passport to History  visisted with 4A and 4B.. She explained how the Passport to History program works. Passport to History is part of the Delaware County Historical Society. They received a letter and a map of Delaware County. (will come home shortly). There is a full list of sites on their website that you can download which is noted on the letter.  Passports will be kept in the classroom.  You may use your passports through the summer!!

                      
It would be a winning idea to make sure all math times tables from the 2-12x tables are memorized.  Also all addition and subtraction number stories up to 18 are to be memorized.  To be successful in math, a good foundation is a must and that begins with memorizing all the number and times tables stories!  

DVD's would be appreciated for a rainy or snowy day.  Please have your child's name on it and it will be returned.  Thank you.

Social Studies - there is a great website to create your own quizzes at no cost unless you want the upscale version.  It is www.quizlet.com  Students will need assistance from their parent to fill in the information.

P R E T Z E L orders will be on a weekly basis.  You must send in the money every Friday for the following week.  The pretzel must be ordered for the whole week--minus special pretzel day which is on Wednesdays.  Pretzels will not be ordered on a daily basis--they must be ordered for the entire week.---The cost for the 4 days is $2.00.  Special pretzels must be ordered separately which are $1.50  Cinnamon, Hot Dog, or Cheese.

 

Reading -  Students have been assigned a user name and password to have access to Pearson Reading Street. It is taped in front of the memo. They will have access to their reader and many other activities.  I will assign the 5 day weekly plan for each story and 2 short stories which is under My Reader on the home page every Monday.  I would like each student to spend time on these activities each night. Please work on what is in the TO DO list. Students do not have to write anything.  This is required and to be completed each week by the following Monday, or a written assignment will then be given. 

FYI - Math Word Problems Tests -  The students usually have 10 word problems.  They get credit for the workout (10) and they get credit for the correct label (so that is 10 more).  So it is based on 20.  So you will see for example 16/20 = 80.  You will see whether the workout is circled because it is incorrect or you will see the label circled because it is incorrect.
