What a Great TGIF!



Wow-what a great day today. They earned 2 compliments so far today and they are hoping for another from Mrs. Anderson as they are in Library right now as I write. Ask them if they did get a 3rd one, and if they did write Celebration in the planner.
Mrs. Salazar had a great lesson today about "school is cool". If they can tell you 3 things about the story she read, write "cool" in the planner.
In Math today, we had an awesome review for our test coming up on Tuesday. They took their study guides home so have them do some practice over the next 3 days. We also practice long division with 3 digits divided by 1 and they are doing fabulous.
We finished our tour of the SW and learned why Oklahoma's mascot is called the "Sooners". If your child can tell you why, write "Sooners" in the planner.
My reading kids: Biography projects went home today. We had a great discussion and I think everyone understands all the parts. It is quite extensive. I showed them the model of mine and there is a picture of it below. Any questions or if you want tagboard from the school just ask. We talked about that the Dollar Store has fun colors for $.50 and also some fun sticker bubble letters for $1.00. I can't wait to see the awesome projects they come up with. Also, we talked about typing the poem and the facts for sure as that looks so much neater. They will be graded on each part along with quality, presentation, and overall effort.
Remember No School in Monday, January 16th as it is a special day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King.
Thanks Mason for sharing all your cool stuff. Your mom sure made you an awesome book. Love it.
Have a great weekend and Good Luck to your football teams if they are still alive in the playoffs. Go Packers!
