Class Captain Winner!

Our Class Captain!

100th Day of School

Yesterday was our 100th day of school.  The students enjoyed working with fractions, measurements, and graphing. I can't believe we have been in school for 100 days!

Class Captain Videos

This month we have been learning about the government.  We have identified leaders such as the mayor, governor, and president.  We also discussed that all the leaders have to be elected by people.  To help create a real-life connection for voting/elections, the students organized campaigns and ran for the Class Captain.  Each person running for the Captain had to give a speech and create a poster to tell how they would give leadership,  provide a service, and solve problems.  Below are short videos from some the class speeches. Enjoy.

Homework 2-14/2-18

Valentine's Day

Please remember to send in your child's Valentine's Day cards on Monday.  We will not be having a party but the children will get a treat bag and pass out their cards to their classmates.  Happy early Valentine's Day!

Out of the building!

I will be out of the building tomorrow in the PM and all day on Monday.  My twin sister and dad are running their first marathon in LA.  :)

Poetry Race Winner

Congratulations to our Great Poetry Race winner from last week! Remember that even if you don't have many people to read the poem to, you can write tally marks next to the person's name for each time you read the poem. Reading and rereading has been shown to improve fluency for students. This will help the overall ability to read new words quickly and fluently.

Extra Literacy Practice Going Digital!

With West Clermont's new reading program, Reading Street, we are lucky to have an online site for our students to visit.  I will be posting weekly readings, games, and activities for your child to practice at home.  When your child has finished their reading, game, or activity please remind them to click "I'm Done" so that I can give them credit for completing their assignment.  If internet access is limited for your family, please let me know and I can make other arrangements for additional reading practice at home.

We are in the middle of a poetry unit, and this week your children wrote some amazing poems! They wrote acrostic poems using the letters of their names, which will be hanging in our classroom soon on the writing wall. Be sure to take a look the next time you stop by! They also wrote some fantastic Cinquain poems. Cinquain poems are very structured poems which allow the poet to focus on using descriptive words in their poetry writing. Take a look below at some of the Cinquain poems your children wrote:
