March 2-6

Math- In Math we are learning about adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers. The kids are really getting the hang of it and I am so excited. They are learning how to re-group with subtraction (or borrow) and how to carry in addition. We are getting into some hard stuff and the kids are doing great!! We are also doing a math camp on 2 digit addition this week!!
Reading- We are still going strong with our summaries. I am so excited that they are really producing some great summaries and it is also helping in their writing too!! This is so great!! When the groups finish up their book, I am going to give them a break from summaries and we will do some fun activities for a while!! Please keep reading at home because I am noticing a BIG difference.
Writing- I am so thrilled with the writing that this class is doing. It is absolutley incredible. We have mastered paragraphs and have moved into an essay. The students are working so hard and I am really enjoying the stories that they are creating. They are working on a narrative essay right now and are on the final draft. It will be hung out in the hall by the office when they are finished. (I will keep you posted)
Teacher Notes- Thank you so much for coming to parent teacher conferences!! I really enjoy talking to you and discussing your child's success!! Next week we will be celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday with fun things every day. I sent a note home today with your children to tell you about the events for the week. I also wanted to let you know that I will have a substitute here on Wednesday. I will still be here at school, so I will be checking on the students. I will be running the Science Fair that day and so I won't be able to be in the classroom. I also wanted to thank Halli Judd's parents for coming in on Friday!! They taught us about how to be an electrician, played games with us, and gave us some yummy treats!! Thanks again for all of your support and help!!
