Mrs. Cashin’s Class Wishes
Today we read the story, “Bunny Wishes”. We then talked about all the wishes we had for children around the world that are less fortunate than us. I had the students write about what their wish would be for those children, then we bound their pages into a book. I was so touched by their responses, it made me a little teary eyed. You all have such wonderful, caring, loving children that I adore! Thanks for sharing them with me!

Word Sorts

Daily practice of lessons is critical to your child’s academic success. Children need to be completing their homework daily. All of the spelling (word work) assignments are the same weekly, only the word lists change. The new words can be found here on the blog on Monday. Your child’s Word Sorts are specific to their learning needs.

Passing word sorts with a proficiency level of 80% is required. If your child did not pass their word sort test last week, they will continue to work on their previous sort until it is mastered. Tests will be passed back on Mondays, a sticker on their test indicates a passing grade, please continue on to the next sort.

Spelling- 

Every Monday I will post a list of 5 spelling words that your child will need to be able to read/use in a sentence/SPELL! Students will be tested on Friday!

SPELLING LIST:

Here are some fun ideas to practice your spelling words each night.

• Typing spelling lists on the computer is very motivating. Use the computer to write sentences for each spelling words.  It’s a great way to teach word processing skills.
• Invest in a set of letter stampers and let your child stamp out their spelling words.
• Give your child a Scrabble board.  Let them take the letters out of the bag, lay them on the table face-up, and try to fit all of their spelling words on the board.
• Collage- cut individual letter from magazines to spell out your words.
• Get a set of magnetic letters.  (You can find them cheap at garage sales.)  Give your child letters, a spelling list, and a timer.  See if they can complete it in 1-3 minutes.

• Create a Wordle using your spelling words (Use the 5 High frequency words for this week)

Go to wordle.net, Have your child type in all of their spelling words and print off a cool wordle!

• Go to SpellingCity.com and practice your spelling words, practice tests and play games. The username is your first and last name squished together with the #1 after it, The password is rams. example:johnsmith1 Accounts are set up!

Here is what we have been up to with science this month! We did a lot about clouds. We even created a cloud and some rainfall. Check out our experiment video. I told the students that I would post the materials and instructions here on the blog so that could try it at home.

 SHORT DAY IS NEXT FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22. SCHOOL IS DISMISSED AT 1:00.

THANKSGIVING BREAK IS NOVEMBER 25-29.

STUDENTS ARE OUT OF SCHOOL AT 1:00 ON NOVEMBER 22 AND RETURN TO SCHOOL ON DECEMBER 2.

We are taking our math test this Friday! I am so impressed with how well my students are doing with subtracting with regrouping! I have attached another practice sheet they can do to help them prepare for the test. The more practice they get, the better they will do! The worksheet has some practice problems, but they are written horizontally. Have them re-write them vertically (up and down) so they can practice the concept of subtracting with regrouping! 

Your kids are AMAZING!!!

Extra fleuncy practice

Just a reminder that I will be placing the Scholastic book order this Friday! If you want to order BOOKS FOR CHRISTMAS, please do so soon! Thanks!!

Our Class Code: L6KDF       Scholastic Book Website

I have ALOT of laminating that will need to be cut this week! If any of you are willing to cut some from home I would LOVE it! This is a great way to fill volunteer hours if you are still in need of them! Email me if you are interested! Thanks!
