This week we are continuing to work on fractions. We are learning them in a very conceptual way. PLEASE ask your children about the games they are playing in class and take a few minutes to play them with your child! It really makes a difference. If you need pieces or more explanation, feel free to email me.
THANK YOU!
In Language Arts, we are reading the story, Who Was Steve Jobs? and answering questions about the text. The student are really enjoying it and are using the text to make amazing inferences, and at the same time learning what passion and a food work ethic can get you! We are working on persuasive letter writing and using those skills to write to companies requesting donations to ship more books.
In Science, we are working on what makes a motor run! Today was the last day on the computer lab to finish the SCIENCE Photostory, but those who need to finish have until Friday to do so. I have the program on all of the laptops in the class, or they can also visit the computer lab at lunch or recess. We can't wait to share them with you!
In Social Studies, we are learning about life on the missions. I know many of you are wondering if you, I mean the students, will be building missions at home. The answer is no. A project will be assigned with options to chose from, but will be completed mostly in class!
We have a student teacher in our class until May. She is fitting right in and we are happy to welcome Miss Smith to our Room 20 team!

If your child had Mrs. Hauser for iPad rotation, she has made an amazing website for you to watch their movies. If their movie is not there, and they were in the second rotation, they are encouraged to go finish it at recess or lunch! Students who have not yet had the iPad rotation will be making movies soon, so check back later. The link is
Thanks Mrs. Hauser!!!! We love it!!
As most of you know, we sent 11 boxes of books to Ethiopia. The students were so proud. As a treat I brought injera, the spongy bread popular in Ethiopia, for them to try today! Most of them liked it and might have even brought some home to share!
The students are encouraged to read Hailey's blog posts answering the questions they sent to her! It is actually very informative for adults as well, so feel free to read away! The links are below.
Wednesday will be the class Spelling Bee test!
Friday is Valentine's Day. We will be handing out Valentines and doing some other class activities throughout the day. Please be sure to bring a Valentine for EVERY child, if you chose to bring them. Thanks!
Valentine Grams are available for sale at school until Thursday.
New photos have been uploaded to the PHOTO page!
If you haven't sent in your trip slip and/or donation money for the buses and entrance to the Science Center, please do so as soon as possible. If you need another form, just ask! Chaperones will be chosen soon. Sorry for the delay. Parents who have not attended the other trips will be given first chance, as long as they have a volunteer form in the office and a TB clearance. Thank you for understanding!
