Welcome back to school – I hope you enjoyed your long weekend.
Homework is posted under the “Homework” tab on my blog. Even though we didn’t have school on Monday, Reflex and 20 minutes of reading will still be required.
For Fun Friday this week, we will be making our own fossils. I’m requesting donations to make this activity possible. I need Plaster of Paris, Petroleum Jelly, sponges, salt, and any empty Cool Whip containers. If you have any of these things lying around at home and are willing to donate, it would be much appreciated! I’ll need the materials by Thursday, so I can buy any items that didn’t get donated.
Have a great week!
Homework is posted for the week. Look under the Homework tab for details.
Our classroom will be having a short Valentine’s Day party at the end of the day on February 14th. Students can bring in Valentine boxes of their own if they would like. If not, I will provide them with a bag for them to collect Valentines in. Valentines that are passed out in class need to be food free! Can’t wait for another great week of learning!
We had a successful week of Parent Teacher Conferences! Thanks for coming by to visit.
Homework for this week is posted. Readworks has an extra assignment called “Article-A-Day”. This is for in-class use. Please check the homework tab to know what article to be doing for homework.
Here’s our latest song on fractions. See if you recognize the tune (most of the kids didn’t!):
Parents,
We’ve reached the week of Parent Teacher Conferences! I’m looking forward to meeting with you. If you haven’t signed up, please do so ASAP.
New homework is posted for the week and is available in the Homework tab at the top of the page.
Our class has earned a party because they earned 100 class points. I have received approval from administration to do a read-athon/technology party. However, we do have strict guidelines: Students can bring a technology device of their choosing, but it cannot require wifi. Wifi will not be provided for students’ gaming devices. Students also must only be playing games that are rated E. Students can bring ONE of the following: a blanket, a pillow, OR a stuffed animal. We will NOT be doing PJs for our class party.
We will be eating pizza and soda for our party. If you have not signed the form to give your child permission, please do so in the post from two weeks ago.
It’s going to be a great week!
Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up next week and I can hardly wait! Be sure to see the previous post to book your time if you haven’t done so already.
Our class party is coming up as well – if you want your child to be able to have pizza and soda with us, please sign the form on the previous post.
There is still homework every day this week (Monday -Thursday) just like normal, even though we had a day off.
Have a great week!
Parents,Parent Teacher Conferences have been pushed up to Jan 29 & 31. I have a previous commitment on the 29th, so I will need to leave early.

The mother-son dance is coming up. Here’s more information about it:
We’re back from the holidays and going full speed ahead in our learning!
Homework this week is back: 2 days of Reflex, 2 days of Readworks, and the reading log. Please be sure your kids aren’t just clicking through the questions in Readworks. They will be required to redo any unsatisfactory work.
Please check the Homework tab for details. Email or Bloomz message me if your child forgot their password to any of the homework sites (I see Bloomz messages first.)
For Christmas, I gifted students with a “No Homework” coupon. Students can choose to use this coupon any week for the rest of the year to get out of doing their homework for the week.
Make it a great week!
Welcome back from Christmas Break!
This week we are jumping right back in and getting back into routines. There IS homework this week! However, it will just be one day of Reflex, one Readworks article, and the reading log. (Please make sure your child is being honest in their reading log. They should only mark the days they read.) Check the Homework tab for more information.
I’m excited to start 2019 with your kids. I have a feeling it’s going to be the best year ever!
Homework is posted for this week! Check the homework tab on my blog for details.
Right now, I’m working on finishing up my master’s degree. This requires me to do a research project. Since I’m so passionate about music, I’m doing a study on how music influences memory in the classroom. I’ve sent home a consent form for parents and students to sign to have your child be a participant. The study is completely anonymous and your child’s name or any personal information will not be included in the study. If you and your child could sign the form and bring it back ASAP, that would be just super! Thank you for your help in this!
Our Christmas party is on Friday! Wahoo! We will not be having food, so no permission slip is required. We will be doing classroom activities for most of the day and a Christmas sing-along with the rest of the school.
Please email me with any questions.
Parents,
I’ve had a few requests to show how to do multi-digit division using the box method. Here is a video of how to do it.
Let me know if you have questions.
