Words Their Way
by Shila Schneider on Apr.07, 2014, under Uncategorized
Welcome back to the full swing of things! It’s going to be a crazy couple of months!! We start taking our End of the Year Sage tests on the 22nd. Our first two tests are writing. The rest of the testing schedule can be found on the classroom calendar (along with many other things coming!)
Today was a crazy-Monday-After-Spring-Break kind of morning. I didn’t get a chance to go through the Words Their Way lists with the kiddos today, but I will be doing that tomorrow. They will have Words Their Way homework starting tomorrow. Journals need to be done by Friday, as well as reading for 20 minutes everyday.
Enjoy the nice weather!!
Mrs. Schneider
Enjoy your break!!

Bill Nye Video

Students, I would like you to watch the Bill Nye Video and post a comment that includes 3 pieces of information that you found interesting from the video.
If other students have already posted, you may read their comments and comment back–nice words only, please! 😉

If your student hasn’t mentioned it–you should check out the Science Tab! We did a class activity to learn about soil. I posted a question, and the students needed to read through their resources to find the answers and then post their answers to the blog! It was an amazing activity that allowed students to work as groups, scan through and review information that they have already read, and a fun way (since they made it a race between the groups) to learn about soil! 🙂 We also talked about writing complete sentences and how to restate part of the question in the answer. Fun times in Science!!
(We also did an activity like this to review Main Idea!)
Also, don’t forget to look over the class calendar–it’s really starting to fill up with some very important events. 🙂
Think Happy…it’s Almost Spring Break! :)

This Week…
by Shila Schneider on Mar.24, 2014, under Homework
I can’t believe that I’m saying this, but this is our last week of school before Spring Break! We started the fourth term today!! Yikes–where did this year go?!!
Friday is a dollar dress down day–don’t forget to bring your dollars on Friday, they will be collecting the money first thing in the morning.
Homework this week is posted under the Homework Tab. The Words Their Way words are also posted under the Words Their Way tab, in case any students forgot their list at school. 🙂
Reader Response Journals are due by Friday night…and don’t forget to read for 20 minutes!! Reading Group assignments need to be finished so we can discuss our books in groups this week!!
Just in case, here are the assignments for Words Their Way tonight…
Red Group–We are creating our own word sorts using aw, au, al, ow, ou, oy, and oi. Students need to fill in each category with three words.
Yellow-Write three words that fit into each of the categories–they need to be new words–not from the list. (Word Hunt works great for this!!)
Green-Make a list of 5 Agent words and 5 Comparative Adjectives
Top Blue-Finish filling out the paper, by underlining the prefix and writing the number meaning of the prefix
Purple: Write 2 words from each category and their meanings
Bottom Blue: Finish filling out the paper–putting whether or not the word is an adjective or a noun…pay attention to the meaning of the words to help you.

Book signing…
by Shila Schneider on Mar.10, 2014, under Love, Mrs. Schneider
I just got this email! In case you missed last Thursday’s book signing…there is another chance!! Check it out!!
Hello Everyone,
Once again, it is our pleasure at your Layton Barnes & Noble to welcome best-selling author, Brandon Mull to our store. He will be here Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 11th at 6:00 PM to meet with the public and sign copies of the first book in his brand new Five Kingdoms Series, Sky Raiders. This time, Brandon has brought his friend and up-and-coming children’s author, Chad Morris with him. Chad is the author of the great new Cragbridge Hall series. This is an excellent opportunity to meet with two wonderful authors and purchase personalized and signed copies of their books.
For those of you who have attended one of Brandon’s signings before, you know how long the lines at his events can be; which is why we’re going to try something a little different this time. Instead of having to wait in line, we will be handing out wristbands starting at 4:00 PM. That way, you may leave and come back at 6:00 or browse the store without fear of losing your place in line.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
