This week will surely be incredibly busy, because we have quite a bit to do!
Please remember that this is conference week. If you have not heard from me regarding a confirmed conference time and you would like to meet, please let me know and I will gladly fit you into the schedule. All before and after school enrichment classes are canceled during conference week. Thursday and Friday of this week are early release days, due to conference schedules.
Tuesday we will hit a big milestone - the 100th day of school! I have many fun and exciting activities planned including spelling 100 words, writing 100 sentences, solving 100 math problems, researching with the world was like 100 years ago and lots more! Tuesday will be a special day for us!
We did not start learning about poetry last week as originally planned, so we will begin that unit this week. The district poetry contest is coming up soon and I know many students are very eager to enter.
There will only be one spelling list this week and it will contain words from the upcoming WordMasters meet. Students do not need to memorize the definitions as dictionaries are allowed during the meet. However, students tend have more success with analogies if they have a solid understanding of the vocabulary. We will participate in the meet (meet #2) at some point this week.
A good portion of the class has tested out of the Three Minute Multiplication Challenge and many other students are very close! We will continue with that drill for the rest of the quarter.
