We're sailing through January!  I can't wait to see all of you tomorrow at school.  I hope you enjoyed the long weekend.

I'm not sure if anybody is even reading this......but just in case I'll update the spelling list for the week.  Don't forget that this coming Monday, the 19th, is a day off.  I've added the book report form to the sidebar as well.  Have a great week!

Back to the school routine.......I know some of us don't feel ready yet after days of relaxing, sleeping in, and fun family time together.  I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas vacation and enjoyed your time off.  I know my family did!  I have updated the current week page.  There will be some changes coming up this month in our homework routine, book reports, and more.  I will keep you posted as we move through the week.  Please make sure you sign up to follow this blog by email. You will be automatically notified whenever I post something new for you to see.  Talk to you soon.

Oops!  We had a mistake with the spelling words.  Sorry.  I've been using a year long list that I cut and paste into the newsletter.  For some odd reason, this unit does not match up with the unit in our spelling book!  Click on current week to see the word list.  I'll be sending out a new pdf today as well with the correct words listed.  Our countdown to Christmas break is on.  Please remember to bring a wrapped gift by Thursday for our gift exchange this Friday.  Thank you!

Happy Monday.  Sorry that I didn't update over the weekend.  We were busy every day and evening and I just ran out of time.  In the mornings this week we will be practicing for our concert (Friday at 6:30).  It's going to be a great show.  I'm really excited to see it all come together.  Please bring your student to our classroom at 6:00 sharp.  This is a great time to take pictures before the show.

Our class will be having a gift exchange during our Christmas party next Friday, December 19th.  Boys should bring a wrapped gift for a boy and girls should bring one for a girl.  Please keep the gift amount to around $5. Feel free to email me if you have further questions about this or need ideas.

Our chapters 5 and 6 vocab. test will be Friday.  I've created an account on Quizlet.
Your child can use this to study for the test.  I've demonstrated it in class already.  Click on the link to the right to access my account.

Have a great week!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed time with friends and family.  I've eaten my fill of turkey and pumpkin pie!  I've posted the new spelling words and memory verse on the "current week" page.  This Friday is the family movie night, featuring Frozen, and if you bring a can of food to donate you receive a free bag of popcorn.  See you in class!

We had a great week!  We wrapped up our grammar unit on nouns and finished our science chapter on fossils.  The kids brought in some amazing fossils and rocks that we all enjoyed examining.  We learned how rocks get their colors and even made our own fossils to get a clearer idea of the differences between a mold and a cast.  They turned out really great!  This next week is short again so there won't be a spelling test or a new memory verse.  I hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy the long weekend.
