Wacky Wednesday

Today was Wacky Recess and it was great! The kids worked so well together, it was by impressive! We still had our regular co-curriculars, Engage and art. We also had Nick C.'s birthday treat! THANK YOU FOR THE YUMMY SUGAR COOKIES!!

For the remainder of the afternoon, we watched two short movies related to government. Then, we cleaned out lockers and cubbies.

IMPORTANT: Tomorrow is our class party day! The PTSA will provide lunch so students will not need a lunch. WE WILL SWIM SO A BATHING SUIT AND TOWEL ARE NECESSARY!

Tuesday-Our Last Regular Day of the Year

Today was great, but somewhat sad, since it was our last regular day of the year. The rest of the week will be filled with end of the year festivities.

We started with reading an informational story about a baby elephant. Then, we divided into two groups to practice plays. We will perform them on Thursday.

Next, we switched for math. In math we explored probability and chance events. After math we read about government from our MI textbook.

After PE, and lunch , we had David's birthday treat. THANK YOU FOR THE YUMMY POPSICLES! We finished out the afternoon with play practice and then did planners, clean up and had a few minutes for Sharks and Minnows!

Tomorrow is Wacky Recess so please wear green and bring a change of clothes!

Move-Up Day Monday!

Today was a great day!  The morning was spent with Move-Up Day activities.  Our fourth graders went up to meet their fifth grade teachers and we met our incoming 2nd graders who will be 3rd graders next year!  We will REALLY miss our fourth graders but we have a FABULOUS bunch of kids coming in to our class for next year!  I already cannot wait until the fall!

After Engage and lunch, we had DEAR and then math.  During math we worked on plotting ordered pairs on a coordinate grid.  We also checked two math box pages from Friday during which we discussed multiplication, probability and finding landmarks!  The HW is JP 263 and 265.

After math, we finished up our last letter.  I am so excited for our letter project and cannot wait to distribute the completed books!

Our class will wear GREEN on Wednesday for Wacky Recess!  Please make every effort to find something GREEN to wear!  (Preferably something that clearly supports MSU!) 

I cannot believe it is our LAST week!  Here are some important events:

Monday and Tuesday - Combined!

Hello!  Both Monday and Tuesday were fabulous days!  In fact, these were the last two "normal" schedule days as next week our schedule will be quite different with Move-Up Day, Wacky Recess, Class Parties and of course the last day of school.  I cannot believe it is our second to last week of school!


Both days began with daily grammar and a special letter writing project.   We also had math and social studies as usual in the morning.  Our afternoons were consumed with more social studies, which is what we have been focusing on now days to finish by next week!  Since the weather is nice, we also enjoyed an afternoon recess on Monday.  On Tuesday, at the very end of the day, we were fortunate to have an extra art opportunity since we have missed numerous Friday classes.  Thank you Mr. Melton for taking your time to let the kids catch up!

Thank you for reading and enjoy your evening!
