Classroom News 9/20

This week was a full week!

We worked tirelessly on rounding big numbers. We rounded to the nearest 10; 100; 1,000; 10,000; 100,000; and 1,000,000! It was tough but I think most of us are mastering the concept. Next week we dive into the world of decimals!


Holly practices Working on Writing.

We introduced several new things to Daily 5. We practiced Read to Someone and learned how to do Work on Writing. Every day we continue to build our stamina!
Here are some pictures of us working hard during Daily 5!

Austin was our Star of the week this week! We learned about his family, his favorite video games and his favorite sports! We had fun getting to know him a little bit better!

 

 

 This week we also practiced most of our safety drills. Our class learned how to safely do a room clear in case there is something unsafe happening in our classroom. We also practiced a fire drill and an earthquake drill. Soon we will practice how to appropriately respond to a lockdown drill.



Hopefully we all feel confident knowing what to do in an emergency situation!

 

Our grading system is finally up and running so be looking for a lot of returned student work next week. I know some students were concerned about getting their spelling tests back. Now that I can enter their grades they will get them back shortly!

 

We got to visit our buddy class, Mrs. Gericks 2nd grade class, and read with our buddies. It was a lot of fun!

 

Next week I will post the spelling words on Monday. Also remember that Wednesday is an early release day so teachers and staff can meet in our Professional Learning Communities.

 

Until next time!

Mrs. Wolpe
