I would like to remind everyone that next week we will be having half days starting Tuesday for our goal setting conferences. Please double check with me about the times if can't remember when we were to meet. I will post the schedule on the wall so you can see it when you walk in. On Thursday night, we will be having our family night so you can get an idea of what is happening in the class and see all of the great work we have done. Next Friday there is not going to be any school because we are having a staff development day.
For our language arts we are using graphic organizers to help us with our autobiographical narratives. We are continuing with our power write and wordly wise as well. We have come up with some really clever stories so far. We have some very creative writers in class. I can't wait to see our published finished products. We are learning that authors need to spend most of the time in the "pre-write" phase of writing. This is the planning and preparing stage of writing.
In math I am pleased to announce that we have finished our mathematician projects. The work is displayed on the wall of our classroom if you want to see it. We are also learning how to add and subtract using decimals. I am also giving multiplication tests to make sure that we are mastering these basic skills too. If students miss problems we will be making flash cards and playing games to help learn them.
