8/29-9/2

Wow! We survived our 1st week of school! The kids have been working so hard this week on analyzing characters and using multiplication. I am so proud at their effort thus far and cannot wait to see how they do this week on their tests!

This week we will be working on ....

Reading - Analyzing character's actions and motivations
Math - Division (not as scary as it sounds!! simple factor family division problems)
Science - the Scientific Method
Writing - Writing a paragraph

Friday will be a big test day! The kids will be taking a spelling, math, and science test. I promise there will be fun games and activites between these tests! So far, all of the kids have been doing great on their math and spelling. I will send home a study guide this week for their science test. Please have your child review the scientific method at home using the study guide. The kids will need to know the steps, what each step includes, and identify from a "mock" experiment what step is being described.

On to week 2 ... and the 4 day weekend to follow! :)

About Me

My photo
I have always known that my career would involve working with children. I volunteered and worked with a summer camp in Derby, KS for eight summers, to which I owe my games and song collection that are popularly used in the classroom. I am an alumna of the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta and the University of Kansas. I have been happily married for over two years to my best friend, Eric. Together, we share a three year old beagle, Ellie May. I enjoy reading, playing board games, and watching Grey’s Anatomy. I am so grateful to do what I love everyday. I cannot wait to teach this new group of 4th graders!
