I hope that those of you who watched the Super Bowl saw the Skittles commercial, it was perfect one to match our Inference Activity, it will probably be added to the list for next year’s viewing. It was the favorite commercial at our house.
We’ve been reading Wonder, which is a fabulous book, and it is told in various people’s point of view. After each point of view, we write a summary of that section, and our reaction to it. If you have not subscribed to Seesaw, please do so you can follow your child and the things they add to their Seesaw Portfolio. Here’s what one of the students wrote this week:
In the book wonder, Via’s point of view starts out when she goes to school with her dad. She is really good friends to two girls. So when Via was at school she saw her two friends who were talking. Via was very mad because they were not the same as they use to be. They changed the way they looked and they made lots of new friends. So Via ignored them and she did her own things without them. Later a few nights later she asked her mom to tuck her in, Her mom said she would but never did, instead Via’s dad walked into her room and said that her mom was talking to August about his first day at school. So Via’s dad tucked her in and he left after bringing their dog into her room. The next morning was the Halloween, August went to school and Via felt sad so she and her mom stayed home while August and their dad left. Via’s mom said to watch a movie together, but before they started the phone rang and the nurse said that August was sick. Later Via went into Augusts room and talked. I think Via feels mad and sad because her mom does not spend as much time with her and because her friends don’t act the same to her.
Parent Teacher Conferences
I will be meeting with Parents on February 21st and 22nd. I would love to meet with as many of you as possible. This is a great opportunity to share what your child has done up to this point in the year. If you have not signed up for Bloomz, please see the paper that your child brought home last week.
Multiplication Madness
Our Multiplication Madness will end on February 14th. We will be having an ice cream party on February 14th for our Valentine’s Party. We are in need of parents who are willing to donate chocolate ice cream or caramel topping for the grade. I will post a volunteer sign up on Monday evening. We will also need Volunteers to help dish up ice cream that afternoon. I will put that on Bloomz also
Homework
Reading: 20 minutes of reading and the questions on Google Classroom. I think we have the problems solved and everyone should have their own homework this week and it won’t be taken over by someone else.
Math
Prodigy Game 15 minutes 3 nights. Please study your multiplication facts too.
Spelling
We are working on 3 and 4 syllable words that end in -tion and -sion. This is the same pattern we worked with last week and I felt like we needed one more week as these are very difficult patterns.
Thanks for all you do!
