Happy Thursday!

We’ve had a short, but busy week here in the classroom. We’ve been working on noun families, parts of an angle, continuing to explore invertebrates. This week we looked at different kinds of mollusks and got to examine some clams. Thank you to everyone who took time from their busy schedule to come into the classroom for parent teacher conferences this week. It’s been great meeting with you all and sharing your child’s progress and celebrating her/his successes so far for this school year!
Just a reminder that on Thursday, the 30th, we will be heading to the museum to visit the Lego exhibit. We will leave school at 10:30 and return around 2:15pm. Since the Lego exhibit is a special exhibit, the cost is 3 dollars per child to get into it. Thank you to all who have returned their permission forms and enclosed the $3 payment. If I haven’t received your child’s permission form, I have enclosed another form. Thanks!
Next Thursday is also the Denali fall carnival. Ms. Amanda’s and our class have been nominated to do face painting again! We will be looking for any volunteers who would be willing to come and help us paint. I will post a sign up sheet outside the classroom, or feel free to email me if you are available. It should be a rocking paint filled time!

Happy Friday!

We’ve been busy this week in the classroom! We’ve been working on prefixes, nouns and articles, using compasses and rulers in geometry, and exploring echinoderms. We will be having homework next week even though it is a four day week. It is a review week for spelling, which means the word lists are a compilation of the last five weeks. Our spelling test will be on Thursday, the 16th. The following week, October 20th-24th, there will not be any homework.
Enclosed is also information on parent teacher conference scheduling. If you cannot make the time listed on your sheet, please let me know as soon as you can and we can figure out an alternative time and/or date. Thank you!
This coming Thursday is our field trip to the Apple store downtown. Thank you to everyone who has turned in their permission forms and volunteered to chaperone. It should be a fun time.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! We’ve been busy this week in the classroom! We’ve been working on different parts of a line, types of line, and the relationship between two lines, articles, and planets. Thank you to everyone who has been able to stop by and volunteer their time in the classroom! It is great to have the support and the children really enjoy it.
The monthly school newsletter is now coming out electronically. If you would like a paper copy to go home each month, let me know and I can get one printed for you. Just a friendly reminder that it is getting cold outside, especially in the mornings, which means it is time to break out the winter coats, hat, gloves and mittens.
On October 16th, we will be going on a field trip to the Apple store downtown and learning about how to create presentations with all the wonderful research we’ve been compiling in the classroom. We will be leaving Denali around 9:30am and returning around 11:45.
