Field Trip Note and End of 3rd Quarter
Last week was busy with the end of 3rd quarter. On Friday 3Q Report Cards were sent home. I would appreciate it if it could be looked over, signed, and sent back as soon as possible. We also had our 3rd Quarter AR party on Friday. The kids seemed to have a blast. This year is the first year we have supported our kiddos goal setting for reading with a party. It seems to be working. Each student set their own reading goal that they think they can achieve. Then each student must read books and take quick AR tests to test for comprehension. The point allotment depends on how many questions were answered correctly.
Also on Friday, a field trip permission slip was sent home. This year on April 19th we will be going to Martha Lafite Nature Sanctuary for the Collasal Fossil program. One adult may attend per student. Students are $8 and adults are $5. The permission slip and money are due on March 23rd. This is by far my favorite field trip we have taken!
This week's learning targets are;
Reading- reading The Paper Crane working on questioning, new vocabulary(host, hospitality, gratitude, and overjoyed)
Writing- Nonfiction reading and writing, Kate and Pippin: An Unlikely Friendship and How to Be a Friend, looking at interview questions and interviewing partners to write about someone
Science- Sounds All Around Us and completing our sound unit, the start of a unit to understand that sunlight provides the light and heat necessary to maintain the temperature of the Earth
Math- subtracting across zeros, reviewing subtracting of 3 digit numbers, and post-test

This week we have so many things going on. It is the end of our 3rd quarter on Wednesday, March 14th. Which means AR goals are done at 3:00 on Wednesday. If they have met their AR Goal then they will get to go to the AR party on Friday afternoon. If they have not then they will stay behind in class and work. This has been the same rule we have had the entire year. Each student made a goal at what they wanted to hit. So it is self-appointed and they are responsible for choosing books on their reading level and signing up for an AR test.
Congratulations to both of our High School Basketball teams who made it to the Final Four at State last week. The girls ended up taking 2nd and the boys took 3rd!! Amazing year for both teams!
This week we have the following target skills;
In Reading, we will read a story called Galimoto. We are working on the skill of asking questions(wondering) to deepen our understanding. We will also review how to use a dictionary. Our new vocab words this week are; fetch, murmur, sturdy, and guide.
In Writing, we are working on choosing drafts we worked on previously and publishing them for an end of the year book. We are looking at the tools around the room we will be able to use, features of a published book, and speaking clearly to others. We will; finish it with looking at how we can assess ourselves as we go as well as our peers.
In Science, we are using Sound Stations to look at the vibrations a sound makes.
In Math, we are working on subtracting 3 digit numbers; rewriting them, across zeros, and problem-solving.

This week in Reading, we are celebrating Dr. Seuss and his many accomplishments and books. We will be working with onomatopoeias through Gerald McBoing Boing and Mr. Brown Can Moo Can You?! We will be working on shooting for goals even if times get hard and others look down on us through Oh The Places You Will Go. We will discuss how our mistakes make us who we are and they make us learn more to succeed. W will then finalize this week by reading the book The Lorax and then watching the movie to compare different types of media.
