Wow, Winter Break is fast approaching. I apologize for not posting earlier in the week. Many students have brought in gifts for our "class gift exchange." I will have extras just in case someone forgets! We will be doing our gift exchange on Friday.
In writing this week we wrote persuasive essays to Mrs. Walters and Dr. Truax. I had the opportunity to sit down with both of them and share these incredible essays with them. We are well on our way to passing the writing test!!! Both of them were very persuaded! We will be watching Elf on Friday as a result of all our hard work.
When we return we will continue working on mastering informative, persuasive and narrative writing formats. Adding and subtracting fractions will also be our focus. In addition to that I will be starting a unit on landforms. If you have any pictures/books of landforms please send them in so we can display them during this unit.
Mrs. Waters is also blogging about how fabulous Spanish Springs Elementary School is. When you have the opportunity please check it out! http://otterupdates.blogspot.com
I appreciate all the hard work the students did over the November break and there will be nothing like that over the Winter Break. However, I encourage students to work on their Great American Awards packet. January and February are busy months in here and if they don't have them done it can feel a bit overwhelming.
Enjoy your families over the two week holiday. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
Thanks for sharing your incredible kids with me everyday!
Please check your calenders for January 30. That is the day we will be taking the writing test. We are scheduled in the 9:15-10:30 slot. If by chance your child has a medical or dental appointment it would be greatly appreciated if you could reschedule so that they don't miss this important test. Testing as a class will be easier than doing it as an individual.
