Carrie Downie and Room 301 Happenings

End of January/February




End of the 3rd marking period has arrived! Conferences are Wed, Thurs, Fri of the last week in January.

Report cards will be mailed the following week.

I can’t believe we are already halfway through the school year!!!

I HAVE ADDED A FEW WEBSITES TO THE SIDE——–>CHECK THEM OUT!

We are currently working diligently in our Science Unit–Magnetism and Electricity.  Students are learning about electricity currents, how to set up circuits, and troubleshooting with different materials with their group members.

We have made a thousands chart in math and will be working on a 10,000 chart very soon.  We are working on landmark numbers and different strategies for adding and subtracting multiple digit numbers.

Keep practicing the multiplication!

In Reading we are in our 4th Theme of the StoryTown anthology.  We are currently on Lesson 17, students are also working on their spelling each week.  Making sure that they are correctly spelling these words when they are writing!

ALSO NOTE: STUDENTS ARE TO BE COMPLETING THEIR READING LOGS DAILY.  THEY LOSE RECESS IF IT IS NOT FILLED OUT!  They need to be encouraged to read each night.  I have plenty of books in my class library, we now have Library twice a week and we also have an AR cart filled with books.  Students have plenty of opportunities to choose a book they would enjoy reading!!!
