Smilebox from Buddies Friday

I hope you take the time to enjoy the Smilebox made from our Watermelon Buddy fun that we did on Friday. We watched it today and the kids LOVED it. I know some were disappointed that they weren't in it, but it was difficult to get everyone. They will have their chance again.
Math game-today we compared numbers with greater than and less than with our game boards and cards. I would like you to have your child practice saying large numbers to you. For example: 3, 456,786. Say it out loud. If you spend some time practicing these larger numbers, please write large numbers in your child's planner for free money.

Character trait: We have spent the past 2 weeks talking and modeling the "responsibility" trait. Now it is your child's turn to write 5 ways they show & use the trait at school and again 5 ways they show and use it at home. These are to be in sentence/paragraph form and not just a list.
This week we are working on "Respect". We will chart, practice, and role play many examples of this trait.
Today in my reading class I worked on the questioning strategy and the 2 kinds of questions-literal & inferential. We will be using these and get great at questioning during our book clubs. The GOAL is to ask more inferential ?'s as the year progresses.
Tomorrow's charades-students in my reading/language need to have a "verb" ready to act out for us and we will make a chart of verbs that will help us do our subject & predicate skill in Language.
Latitude & Longitude-we are working hard on this concept and will play a game tomorrow somewhat like Battleship to help us understand this difficult concept a bit better.
Congratulations to Ilyssa Schmidt as she is our STUDENT OF THE WEEK. Please bring in your pics and things by Wed.
Remember tomorrow is PE so bring those PE shoes.
Girls & Boys Honor Choir-Mr. Goodheart sent home notes for students interested in trying out for this wonderful program. Tryouts are on Wednesday, September 21 at 3:15. Your child needs that permission slip filled out if they are interested.
WISH TUTORS: Remember WISH tutor training starts tomorrow morning in the Library at 8:00 sharp.
Saturday Live Candy-once again Bitterroot is doing the Candy Shack for Saturday Live. If your child helps out and brings in non-chocolate candy, they will get free money.
Have a great night.
