Classroom News March 14

Hi everyone! I've combined the last two weeks into one. Spring break is quickly approaching and things are, as usual, busy in Room 15!

Last week Cesca was our STAR OF THE WEEK. She brought in the sweetest baby goat and shared some pretty cool things she's collected from all over the world! Great job, Cesca! 

This week Lilah was our STAR OF THE WEEK. She brought in her grandpa's parrot. We learned about parrots and even got to hold him! Lilah shared some great family pictures and we learned a lot about her. Well done! 

Reading
We have been doing a novel study that we will continue with until Spring Break. We are reading The BFG by Roald Dahl. It's a great novel! Our spelling and vocabulary words come right from this book. I've been encouraging the students to practice the spelling words every night as they are pretty tough. 

We did the first round of OAKS testing this week. I am proud of everyone for trying their best. We'll do the second round after spring break so be on the lookout for more information about that. 

Math
We started learning about decimals this week. We are working on the basics and relating them to fractions. We even learned how to go from fractions to decimals using the calculator! 

We had a great week! There's only one more week until spring break! 

Reminders
Spring break is March 24-28
May 6 Aurora field trip
May 21 Capitol field trip
