Hi Parents!
Here is what we did today:

We did our tasting test. We tried lemons, dark chocolate, jelly beans, and pretzels. We circled the one we loved the best. (Mikayla) Check out Twitter for pictures! There are some pretty funny action shots! 

We did writing. We were double checking our steps to add more details. We wrote steps 5 or 6. We drew quick sketches. (Lyrik)

We did our poem. We underlined chunks like wh, ch, ck, and sh. (Logan and Andrew)

We did Fundations. We did our big cards and little cards and vowel chart. We learned the new chunk “ck”. The picture is a sock. (Kate) There are lots of fun chunk games on Starfall to keep practicing!

We went to library. We got new books. We went into the computer lab and played games. (Evan)

We did Daily 5. (James)

We did played a math game. It’s called Towers of 6. We rolled the dice and colored the number of boxes that we rolled. We had to figure out how many more cubes to make 6. (JR)

It was the 125th day of school! (Layla)


We watched a new Class Dojo Video yesterday! Here is the link: https://bit.ly/1W8E5ln In Episode 4, “The World of Neurons,” Mojo and Katie learn that challenging things help their brains grow stronger.

Here are some questions to talk about with your child:
1.            What are neurons and how do we make connections between our neurons?
2.          Think of an example where you made some new connections in your brain. What were you doing?
3.          What can you do this week to make some new connections? Set one specific goal.

Mrs. Hotchkiss and I were also wondering if you could send in any fine tip washable markers this week. We are going to start making our class book at the end of this week and the beginning of next week and we will need those types of markers. That would be awesome if you could donate some to the class! Thank you so much!! 

Have a fantastic Tuesday evening! Thanks for everything you do!
