January 30 - February 3

Hello Parents and Students,

Sorry I missed last week, we have been so busy in class that I actually forgot to update the classroom blog. 

We will be taking the WRITING test on Wednesday, February 1 from 9:15-11:15.  I doubt that it will take that long but we have the computer lap scheduled, just in case someone needs it.  On that day I will be providing lunch for the students. We have talked about this in class and I don't want them to have to worry about anything except putting forth 100% effort towards their writing.  I feel very confident that everyone will do well because of the  incredible writing I have seen in class.

We also celebrated our Box Top party on Friday, January 27.  Thanks so much Mrs. Mahlin for our pizza from Manny and Olgas as well as drinks and cookies.  Keep sending those Box Tops in so that we are able to win for the second contest at the end of the year. 

Our field trip to Kidz Court was FABULOUS.  All of the students had stellar behavior.  We were complimented many times from the bailiffs and court employees.  The play that the students participated in was worthy of an Oscar.  It is a challenge to get up in front of your peers let alone parents, and bailiffs.  These students portrayed each character with confidence.  The best class I have seen so far.  Congratulations on a job well done!!!
The students also handled themselves like young adults when they listened to the inmates and the choices they had made that led them to their incarceration.  This was an invaluable lesson that I hope they carry with them throughout their lives.  Thanks to all the parents that were able to make this important field trip with us. 

Our second trimester is coming to a close, please check in with your student to see where they are at on their Great American Awards Program.  All presentations need to be done by February 14 as well as all correct and returns.  Thanks for your support with this.
