My Week As Student of the Week by Shelby

Dear Parents,

It is  my first week being student of  the week and I am excited. Also I wanted to thank my friends that voted for me. When I found out who did I will vote for them. I also wanted to thank Mrs. Mueller for making me student of the week. I was so excited when my name was called. Thank you Mrs. Mueller and my friends.

Partner Reading & Math & Science Night

Partner Reading
One way we practice reading fluently is to read and re-read the story of the week with our reading partners. We had this opportunity last Thursday. We found that "lights" are an ironic tie into Diwali - a holiday many of our students celebrated last week. As our students shared their customs, we learned about the significance of "lights." Later, we read in the dark using our flashlights and tea-lights.

Math & Science Night
Many of us were able to come out to Math & Science Night last week. It was a fun way to learn. Students who attended received a homework pass! Please don't worry if you missed it. We will be doing science experiments in class this week.

My Week as Student of the Week

This week I was student of  the week and I'm so excited.  All of  the students and my  famliy were so excited.   Everyone gives me respect each day.  This week we did an assembly for Socktober. So far we have over 207 pairs of socks.  We went outside this week for math. It was fun. It was very, very exciting to be your student of the week. Love Kendall Perino.

Spelling Practice, Technology Time & Place Value

Spelling Practice
As a fun way to prepare for our spelling test, we worked with partners and student whiteboards. You wouldn't believe how quiet the room was when they prepared. They took this time very seriously.

Technology Time
We have 40 minutes of scheduled technology time with Mrs. Hooper every week. This past week we completed our i-ready.com diagnostic tests. This means that students can now use i-ready.com at home. Please use the link to the right to logon and practice both math and reading concepts that are individualized for your student.

In addition to the scheduled technology time, each classroom can sign up for open lab times. This past week we used our time to finish our i-ready.com tests. This coming week we will be using our open lab time to create skits for our Socktober videos in Social Studies.

Place Value
We are working really hard to read, write, and understand large numbers in terms of standard form, expanded form, and word form. We have also compared numbers using >, < and = signs. One way to practice place value is working with new numbers and changing the digits around to get the largest and smallest number. We did this as a whole group. Students were very engaged in this even though they were a little hesitant about the concept. By the end of the week, we got pretty good. We will be working with place value again this week.
