Good afternoon!

I have a few important announcements for you today. First, I made a mistake in my newsletter. Tomorrow and Friday are both half-days, but dismissal is at 11:35 not at 11:55. I apologize for that mistake.

Second, we got a little behind in our spelling activities, so our test is now Friday of this week, not tomorrow.

Finally, conferences are scheduled for tomorrow afternoon and evening. I have confirmed appointments with each of you, so I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Have a great night!

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

Field Trip Tomorrow!

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

Monday, October 2

Good afternoon! In preparation for a lesson on Monday, I am in need to twist ties. My family doesn't have a supply of those, but I'm hoping that one or two of you happen to keep these around the house. :-) If you do and you'd be willing, would you send a handful or two into school on Monday? We could use them for our math lesson to create shapes. Thanks in advance! Have a good weekend!
