Dearest Parents - if anyone can send in some good old fashioned #2 pencils I would greatly appreciate it for the classroom. I am running out and replenish my cup holders for the students to use throughout the year. I thank you in advance. Many Blessings!
Happy Valentine's Day....hope your day is filled with lots of LOVE by everyone who is special to you in your heart!!!!
Math - None (In Math today we started to add like fractions and take them down to their simplest form. Example: 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2. They did a great job on this lesson and did all the work in class and submitted it to me. I also surprised them with an optional extra credit worksheet on this lesson to be done so we can master the concept.)
Science - None (Today we took our Chapter 3 Science test and we used notes we created, the textbook and notes I created too for each student. They had many resources to use and did an excellent job. Grades are in PowerSchool and tests will come home on Friday.)
Social Studies - None, but D.O.G. is due by Friday (Today we read chapter 2 & 3 of our Constitution books and answered the questions for these chapters in our comprehension packets. The students are really enjoying this book. I also gave them another state capitals worksheet to work on and turn in.
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.)

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.
