Twas the Day Before School

Happy Sunday!

I went into school today to put the finishing touches on my classroom. As I made my final preparations and left my room, I was thinking about this school year. I want you all to know that I am so excited to have your children this year, and I look forward to partnering with you as we strive to make this year the best yet. I pray I am able to meet your child's needs this year and help them reach new heights. Together, we can accomplish a great deal, and I'm excited to see where we all are at the end of this year.

As you spend your final summer moments with your child(ren), I leave with you with this poem. Enjoy.

Mr. Wissner

Twas the Night Before School Started

Twas the night before school started
when all through the town
the parents were cheering
it was a riotous sound.

By eight the kids were washed
and tucked into bed
when memories of homework
filled them with dread.

New pencils, new folders, new notebooks too,
new teachers, new friends, the anxiety grew.
The parents just giggled when they heard of this fright
and shouted upstairs-GO TO BED-IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT!

Field Trip Tomorrow!

Good evening! Just wanted to post a reminder that we have our field trip tomorrow. Your child will need a lunch to bring with them. Additionally, they may want to bring an umbrella or coat as there is some rain in the forecast. I'm hoping it will miss us, but it's better to be prepared than wet! We are chugging along in class! We are about at the midway point in our first chapter in math. We are doing pretty well with place value but have some extra work to do on rounding. We will look at addition, subtraction, and perimeter next week. In reading, we are in the middle of Unit 1 Week 2. We are studying realistic fiction and how to identify characters, setting, and plot while reading this type of text. Our next spelling test will take place next Wednesday. In science, we continue to investigate energy. We played with marbles today to observe what happens when we make them collide. We observed and discussed the transfer of energy between the two marbles. Hope you're

Informational Books

Good afternoon! Recently, we've been reading a lot about motion, energy, friction, and forces. Today we started compiling that information into books! Students are in groups of three to write informational books about force, motion, gravity, and friction. Their book will include a table of contents, illustrations, captions, and a glossary. On Friday, we will take our books to Mrs. Freeland's class and share them with her students. Here are some pictures from our work today; Just a reminder that we have a spelling test tomorrow. Have a great day! Mr. Wissner
