Be on the Lookout for…
- Tuesday folders coming home today. Please remove student work samples. Review these with your child!
- Students are still underway on the Kindness Challenge. Traditionally it takes 28 days, but I am challenging them to do at least 28 kind things by our last school day of 2017. Students will color boxes (they can also create their own on the back). Students will earn dojos for each DAY they do something kind (not for the amount of kind things they do, although more is always better!) They can also document their kind actions here for our counselor Ms. Poe to see!
- Is your family sending out a Christmas card this year? If so, we would love one for our classroom card wall! Please send with your child asap so I can adorn my room with their smiley faces:) Email versions are ok too if you ran out of hard copies!
- We will have a great day tomorrow Wed, Dec 20th. All Oakview students are encouraged to wear holiday shirts for the day. If you have not sent in your items for Ava’s mom (Angela Vincent) or have not sent a wrapped book for our holiday book exchange, please do so ASAP. I am happy to provide a book for any child who cannot do so, but will need a day or 2 to get it!
- The fun will continue Thurs, Dec 21st. It is an early release day, but I invite my students to wear pj’s a bring a cuddly stuffed animal for a hot cocoa and movie morning (students voted for Santa Paws). If you would prefer your child NOT have hot cocoa or not watch the film, please send me a message. word-hot chocolate
This week in Literacy:
Students are continuing to focus on nonfiction text and text features, but they will also have fun reading some holiday stories:)
This week students completed 2 Christmas themed writing prompts. They chose to type one on Google Docs using the voice typing tool! How cool is that? Have them show you how it works:)
This week in Math:
We will do a review day for multiplication quizzes tomorrow 12/20. Anyone who has a quiz 1’s-4’s to makeup can do that at arrival tomorrow morning. We will continue with 5’s on Wed, 1/3. Please review facts as able over your break. There are tons of fun X sites that help with fact fluency!
