Good afternoon families.

We are looking for some school friendly magazines that you would be willing to donate to our class for a Social Studies art project that we will be starting soon.

I am still looking for a male volunteer for Monday and Thursday next week.  Please please email me if you are available.  I do have enough female volunteers for next week.

In handwriting we learned the letter q.  The kids found this letter a little tricky because it looks so similar to the letter g.

Starting tomorrow we will be learning about different forms of non-fiction writing.  Some of these forms have already been covered but we will once again be visiting them for review.

Today Mrs. Hunter told me that our class was the best behaved class in all of lunch room.  I was very proud of this.

In Math we added 2 new games to our Math Daily 3.  We added growing pattern word problems for Math Writing and also a money/shopping match game for Math by Myself.  This game helps kids learn the value of money and counting groups of coins.

At the end of the day a couple of groups presented their speeches.  Ms. Thomas and I were blown away by how amazing they sounded.  Ms. Thomas also talked with the class about our up coming art project.  Today we talked about the word multi-media.  Please ask your child what this means.

Have a wonderful evening!

P.S.  The kids want to send these out xoxoxoxoxoxo.  We are all laughing now :)
