I don't know about all of you, but I am ready for some spring weather! The students are getting a slight case of cabin fever from all of the indoor recesses that we've had to endure.

Math Update:
We have been working on area and perimeter. We have also started to discuss fractions. The students should be practicing their multiplication facts every night. Even if there is no assigned homework, they need to practice for at least a few minutes.

Field Trip:
Please check the Friday Folders for information about our upcoming field trip!

Hello Everyone!

I apologize for not updating in a while. Our district recently switched to gmail, and it effected my ability to log on to this blog! I just wanted to give a few quick updates.

Indoor Recess
We have been having indoor recess quite often! The students are starting to get extremely bored with the games that we currently have. If you have any gently used games (Uno cards, go fish cards, Sorry, Etc.) that you would like to donate, please feel free to send them in. The students would greatly appreciate it!

President Poster Project
I just want to remind everyone that the President Poster Project is due on February 24th. Since the students will be presenting their posters in front of the class, please make sure that practice presenting at home. If your child finishes their posters early, you can start sending them in now.

Valentine's Day
I just want to remind everyone that Friday is Valentine's Day. It is also a half day! On Friday, I sent a class list home to be used for your child to fill out their Valentines. You can start sending valentines in now if you would like. Just make sure your child's name is on them so we don't get confused. :)

Math Update
Right now we are working on multiplying by 6. Please make sure your child is practicing their multiplication facts every night.
