Happy Monday!
We have a busy week a head of us.
I sent home new flyers for book orders. The book orders will be due January 31st. You can either order online or send the order form into me.
The 5th graders partake in a Spelltacular, which is a spelling bee. We have a written test tomorrow (Tuesday) to start the process. After that round, we will do a spell down in our class to get a final four. We will then have a 5th grade spelldown with Mrs. Vind and Mr. Greendahl's classes to get a 5th grade representative. The 5th grade rep from our building will compete at the Middle School January 24th.
In math, we started chapter 4 last week and will test on the Chapter this coming Friday. The chapter is on multiplication and I am very impressed how well the kiddos are doing. Next week we are looking to move on to division.
For reading, we are going to start our next round of Book Club. The kiddos will be working in small groups towards completing a book and discuss what is occurring. Our focus will be on on sequencing for the week.
In Social Studies we are learning about the Early Explorers. This is one of my favorite chapters as we learn about what really happened when Columbus arrived in the Americas. We also will learn about other explorers who made great feats with their exploration.
Our spelling test will be this Friday. The words were given to the kiddos last week. Please find some time to practice these words.
The end of the quarter is January 27th, which is coming quick. I will do a grade check with the kids so they know where they are in their classes.
I think that is all for this week. Have a great one!
