Week of January 30th

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of February already. 

All graded tests from last week went home yesterday. 

This week in Reading Street our comprehension skill is cause and effect.  In grammar we are working on irregular verbs.  We will take all of our tests on Friday!

The week of the 6th and the 13th we will be reviewing unit 3.  We will be taking the unit 3 tests over the next 2 weeks.  A spelling list will go home on Monday.  The spelling words will be on the back of  the Family Times next week. 

Tomorrow there is a timed multiplication fact test.  They need to know 0-10's and be able to do 50 problems in 5 minutes with a 96% or better.  If they do not pass tomorrow, there will be other opportunities to re-take the fact test.

Have a great night.  I enjoyed meeting with parents tonight at conferences and look forward to seeing everyone else next Tuesday!

Happy Monday

Good Afternoon-

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  We are off to a great week.

All graded tests from reading came home today.  Please make sure you go over them with your child.  All new stuff for the week also was sent home today. 

We will be taking our science test tomorrow.  I sent home a study guide on Friday.  We went over it Friday and today.  If your child knows the information on the study guide they should do fine on the test. 

In math we continue to learn about multiplication.  Since it is the 3rd quarter, make sure that you are working on multiplication facts at least 2 times a week.  We will take a practice multiplication test on Wednesday, and we will start the "real" ones next week!

If you requested a conference with me, I sent home conference papers today.  Please let me know if you can't keep the time I gave you.

We are in need of some paper towels and gallon size zip lock bags if anyone is able to donate to the classroom.

Have a great week!

Week of January 17th

Good morning-

Just wanted to let you know that graded math tests have been sent home.  We started unit 7 in math this week.  The focus is on multiplication.  On the nightly math homework you can begin to work on multiplication facts-if you haven't already started!

We have a normal week in Reading Street-so all tests will be on Friday. 

We are at the end of the 2nd quarter already.  I will be sending conference papers home tonight in the Wednesday folder.  Please let me know which conference night works best for you so I can schedule a time for you.  I look forward to meeting with everyone!

Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.  My email is amann_e@westcler.org.

Have a great day.

Tuesday

Tomorrow is the unit 6 math test.  The students reviewed yesterday and today in class.  Please review any of the study guides with your child.  I am sure your child will do well if they listened in class.

Have a great night!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back!  I hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends. 

We are back to a normal week.  Nightly reading, fluency, spelling words, vocabulary words, and the Family Times all went home today.  All tests will be given on Friday.

Nightly math practice resumes this week also.  We will continue to learn about shapes.  I am thinking the unit 6 math test will be next week. I will keep you posted.

Have a great evening!
