Tuesday, January 23, 2024 Homework
Math - NONE (We continued iReady diagnostic in class today. I'll discuss these results at the February Parent/Teacher Conferences. Thank you. We will start practicing for our Math test this Friday tomorrow in class...I will also give optional test practice worksheets for each student to take home as well.)
Science - NONE - Schiff Only (Today we read about animal adaptations and focused on important bold words throughout our reading. We answered questions along the way. Miss Bubis's class did this yesterday.)
Social Studies - NONE (Today we read chapters 11 through 13 in our American Revolution book and answered our questions in the comprehension packets. Ask your child what they read about today and share at least 3 facts. I will be passing out our Country Project/Presentation to the classes tomorrow as we were missing many kids today. I will go over all the details and the rubric for grading as well. Can't wait to see these presentations in about a month. Also...I have already provided many resources (songs, games, etc..) in Google Classroom for students to start practicing their state capitals for our test on 2/29/24. Please practice and we will practice with worksheets in class as well starting next week.)
Reminders:
- I offer office hours Monday - Thursday if your child needs me to reteach something in Math, Science or Social Studies. Please email me for assistance and we will meet via google meet link.
- I offer afterschool Math group tutoring on Thursday's of every week until 3:15pm. Some weeks we review and some weeks we go ahead and learn the next lessons. We will also work on strengthening our math facts in multiplication. It is $30 per week if you'd like to join. You can come and go from week to week, but it is very beneficial. Contact me with any questions.
- Amazon wish list, if you can donate to our classroom... https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3RS691H76HBK0?ref_=wl_share
Upcoming events:
~ Field Trip to Feed My Starving Children on Thursday, February 1st for our service project for Catholic Schools Week from 11:15am to 1:15pm. Room Mom's have sent a volunteer request form as we need 4 volunteers for each classroom. Also, please make note that all jewelry must be removed prior to attending the facility...earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. Thank you!
~ Field Trip on May 2nd to Kenosha Public Museum to learn about Native American tribes that lived in Wisconsin and also dissecting Owl Pellets. We also have another Field Trip on May 22nd to the Civil War Museum in Kenosha. More info to come for chaperoning by our Room Parent's. Field Trip forms to come home in April. So excited for these opportunities of enrichment.
~ After much research on my end, I have decided to end this year in Science with a bit of Biology. I surprised the students and told them that we will be dissecting a crayfish and an earthworm in May sometime. I would say 99% of them were so excited about this. A couple were not thrilled with the idea. Please know that this will not be graded, nor would I make any student do something they do not want to do or feel comfortable doing. This is strictly for fun and is totally optional. If they choose to not participate, they can come to the Science lab with us and read a book in the hallway. I'm very excited about this opportunity for the students.
