Friday, February 2, 2024 Homework
Please sign up for February virtual Parent/Teacher conferences to discuss iReady Math scores. Here is the link: https://www.schoolbookings.net/code/ecyum
Math - NONE (Today we worked on comparing fractions...greater than, less than or equal to. I showed them a shortcut trick my dad taught me when I was younger and minds were blown with how easy it is to compare fractions. Have them show you at home. We worked out many examples and all homework and worksheets were done is class and turned into me.)
Science - NONE (Today we used our Science time to do a packet on ALL the key people throughout the Revolutionary War. We learned a lot an answered many comprehension questions based on the reading. Ask you child to name at least three people that had important roles during this war.)
Social Studies - NONE (Today we did our open book/open note test on the book, I Survived the American Revolution 1776. Like mentioned, they were allowed to use their packets and books to find answers. They did very well. 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 this 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 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.
