We will be having a Dr. Suess night to celebrate Dr. Suess's birthday!  Here is a link to www.suessville.com to check out some interesting activities that you can do at home.  Don't forget to look for this week's spelling and vocabulary in the folder to the left of here!  Hope everyone is haveing a good week!

P.S. Conferences have been scheduled and I'm looking forward to seeing you all here.  Spring Break is on the way!

Partial Products

Here is a pretty good video on how to do the partial product multiplication that your child is being asked to learn. 

Reading for the week of 2/11-2/14 and Nose to Nose

We will be reviewing for a unit test this week so we will not be having regular spelling words.  The unit test will be on Wednesday 2/13.  It will ask questions like: What are some things that are important to succeed in business?  How is Ivan's success different from the other characters in the other stories?  What caused the characters in "Food From the Hood" and Business is Looking Up" to go into business?

There will also be a portion of the test that asks the students to pick out the misspelled word; choose the definition of the vocabulary words; how to use commas, capitalization of words, punctuate a date, abbreviate words and using quotation marks in a sentence.  All of which we have covered in this unit.  We will review all of the during class Monday and Tuesday.

We had our first Nose to Nose presentation and it was fabulous.  Mrs. Evans from Idaho Fish and Game came to school in period costume and showed us many of the animals (many of which still live here in our wonderful state) that were found in Idaho during the pioneer days.  We are looking forward to the next presentation!

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching.  Be looking for the student name list so your child can fill out those Valentines.  We will be having a party on the 14th from 2:00 to 3:00.  I will provide a beverage for the students.  Your child may bring anything thing they would like to share.  Please make sure there is enough for 27 students.
