Homework for Week February 6-10th

Posted on February 3, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

Here is the Homework Tracker

Here is the link to your child’s phonics fluency stories Level 2 Anita Archer Fluency. Please print Lesson 2 and have your child read it each night. Time them for 1 minute and have them read as many words as they can. If they get to the bottom they will go back to the top and continue reading until the 1 minute is up.

-PLEASE make sure your child is bringing their blue folder everyday to school. There are passages in them that are another resource for reading I am asking that you have them read it EVERY NIGHT.

They need to be timed for 1 minute and then using their retell ropes (in back of sheet protector) to tell you as much as they can about the story.
Here are homework-fluency-instructions for help.

Complete ALL problems of the WHITE MATH PAGES in the blue folder.
Then time your child for 1 minute and 15 seconds on the math timing addition-and-subtraction-fluency-timings and record how many they complete.

*Everyone is on Mixed Addition B unless your child tells you differently. They pass them off so quickly they will know which one they are on. If they don’t know please email me and I can tell you.

Here is a list of our spelling words this week for those of you who would still like to review/ practice at home.

you
were
are
look

our

Sentence: Are you sure you love me?

Reminders/Important Dates

Posted on February 3, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

1. Don’t forget to go on every week and record minutes for our Library Reading Challenge.

2. Our Valentine’s Party will be Tuesday, February 14th from 1:30-2:45pm.

Valentine’s Helpful Hints:
1- We have 24 students in our class.
2- Only write who the Valentine is FROM. Do not address Valentine’s to each student (this will help the students distribute their Valentine’s in a more orderly manner).
3- Your student is welcome to decorate a box from home and bring it to school on the day of the party (February 14th). Please note: This is not mandatory. I will have something for those who don’t to put their stuff in.
4- To follow Quest’s wellness policy, only nonfood Valentine’s. Thank you.

Per Quest’s Wellness Policy, all food in the classroom must be preapproved. Furthermore, parental permission is also required for students to consume food during class parties. Due to this policy—as in years past—student Valentines cannot contain edible items. Suggestions for nonfood Valentines include pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers, etc. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required.

3. Click here to sign up for a February Conference. I will also be available on February 21st from 4pm-8pm. February 23rd from 3-8pm is also available. THIS IS OUR FINAL CONFERENCES FOR THE YEAR.

February STEM

Posted on February 2, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

For STEM this month we will be allowing the student to use cardboard tubes if they would like when they create their product. If you could please save your paper towel tubes for this project that would be great. Please no toilet paper ones. 🙂

We will be collecting them until February 21st.

100th Day Celebration

Posted on February 1, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

Some kids were more excited than others to take a picture, but ask them what we did to celebrate the 100th day of school!

100th Day of School Celebration!

Posted on January 31, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

Don’t forget tomorrow is the 100th day of school! We will be doing some math using 100 objects that they bring from home.

Please send your child with 100 objects/items in a small bag or baggy. This needs to be something that fits in their backpack and they can easily count and take home without getting too messy or lost. NO food items per Quest policy.

Examples:

100 pennies
100 paper clips
100 sticky notes
100 stickers

This is a fun day as we explore the number 100. Thanks for your help with this!

Special Visitor: George Washington

Posted on January 27, 2017 by quinsie.bischoff

We have started learning about a few American Heroes and our first visitor George Washington came to talk to us today! He let us ask him questions and they had so much fun. Ask your child what they’ve learned about him this week.
