Whew! Another full day of learning here in room 25!
LA: Today was our short day due to double specials! We took the unit 1 reading test this morning and also spent some more time on common nouns. Today, as part of our grammar lesson, we also introduced proper nouns. Be sure to ask your child what the difference between these two are!
HW: Fluency and Flow is due on Friday! Here is what needs to be done in order to avoid an oops slip: Read the story and get a parent signature. Answer the 5 questions at the end of the story in complete thoughts. In the Word Workout section, students need to write a definition for each word and then put the 7 words in a sentence about baseball. For spelling words, students just need a parent signature that it was done orally at home together. On the back, students need to chose who they want to write about and answer the questions, they do not need to write a story. Also--please don't forget that Northpoint's expectations are that each 4th grader is reading 20-30 minutes per night and it should be recorded in the agenda. I am taking monthly minutes and applying that towards students independent reading standard on their report cards.
Math: We worked more on our math mania packet today. I was able to meet with small groups on some skills that weren't mastered from unit 2. This was a great opportunity for review!
HW: Math Mania packet is due on Monday
Health: Students had a great time making "Good Thinking Caps" today. We spent a bit of time talking about the importance of good self concepts and how it is helpful in our lives.
HW: None
Make sure to check out the new links I added to our blog. You can easily access lexile.com and arbookfind.com which will help you find great books to read.
Also--as a reminder, Friday is our special No Child Left Inside Day. We have a lot of fun activities planned and are keeping our fingers crossed that the rain holds off. If you haven't brought in your plastic container for music yet, you will need it by Thursday!
Things to watch for in blue folders tonight: Afternoon Adventures papers. These are due back on October 7th!

Another Monday Rolls Around...
I think the cool weather is finally upon us! Please consider grabbing a sweatshirt or light jacket for recess!
LA: We had our spelling pre-test today. Our skill this week is /ch/ and /tch/ which caught a lot of us! We also started unit 2 in reading today, with our first story, Mighty Jackie. Our vocabulary words this week are legendary, snickering, insult, fluke and flinched. Please ask your child what these words mean...they will need to know them by Friday for the assessment. We are also focusing on context clues once again. A new skill introduced this week is author's purpose. We spent quite a bit of time discussing why author's write. We determined that most stories are for one of 3 reasons...to entertain, to inform or to persuade. Our grammar skill this week is common nouns.
HW: Fluency and Flow is due Friday. Our normal assessments will also be given on Friday, just at a different time. Don't forget that the weekly assessment record sheet needs to be signed and returned tomorrow.
Math: We are ready to start unit 3. As it is review for most of us, we are working through the first 7 lessons by working in a packet. Students are working through this packet on their own, using me as a resource as I use this opportunity to meet with small groups to brush up on skills.
HW: Unit 2 test needs to be signed and returned tomorrow. The completed packet is due on Monday.
Health: Welcome Ms. Grannan's class. We had a great first day getting to know each other again! My how the group has grown up! We had a great discussion about owning our own feelings and dealing with them in appropriate ways.
HW: Questions 1-4 on page 23 need to be done in complete sentences and cursive.
We are continuing to have many playground/recess issues. If your child is coming home and sharing this with you, please let us know as soon as possible. As much as we try to be everywhere all the time, we find it impossible to do! :) We want to make sure that all kids are being treated fairly and kept safe!

Finale Friday! We're Done with ISTEP!
Hip, Hip, Hooray! We finished fall ISTEP+ this morning about 9:00! Yes! A special thank you for the brain food from the Drye Family yesterday (I apologize for not putting it in yesterday's blog!) and to the Salous Family today! The snacks were perfect!
I appreciate how hard everyone worked this week to get to bed early and in eating good breakfasts! These tests are intense! I can't wait for the results to see how everyone did!
We were able to celebrate the end of ISTEP+ with a bonus recess and art project today. We also enjoyed our Camp Under this afternoon where we got to lay around and enjoy a book! What fun!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! If you happen to be grocery shopping this weekend, we are in need of 6-8 brown grocery sacks for a fun outdoor learning day we have planned in early October. If you prefer paper over plastic and have a few to spare, we would appreciate them!
Go Kingsmen! Go Irish!

One Test Wednesday!
Whew! We only had one test this afternoon! We've plowed our way through 4 of the tests! We're 1/2 way there! Special thanks to the Brough Family today for the yummy snacks! They were perfect!
We had a great morning together, getting to do fun things! We really enjoyed playing our strategy games first thing this morning. We also got to spend some fun time with our reading buddies. Just in case you haven't heard, part of our class is practicing for a play called Earthquack! During the year, each child in our class as well as Mrs. McGann's class will have the opportunity to participate in a play. If your child is in this play, they should be bringing home their scripts each night and working on memorizing their lines. We do not have a final performance date chosen yet, but we will let you know as soon as we are close! The kids really enjoyed getting their costumes today! We have some really cute animals in our class! :)
Please be on the look out for a bright pink paper that has the cereal box reading project rubric on it. This will outline exactly how the projects are going to be graded.
Don't forget that Stars in Service is sponsoring our first special day on Friday. All students who bring in $1.00 will be able to chew gum (that they bring in!) at a designated time and also help fill our wall of dollars! All donations will be given to the Buddy Walk which supports Down Syndrome.
Don't forget that tomorrow is another heavy testing day! Get to bed plenty early and have a good, hearty breakfast in the morning!

3 Done, 5 To Go!
Err...so it was brought to my attention that I posted my school blog on the wrong page yesterday! Sorry! Please read the previous post to find out what we did yesterday!
As for today--we got through 3 ISTEP+ tests. Whew! It's always a good feeling to get those books in our hands and confirm to ourselves that we've worried over nonsense! We know what we are doing! :)
We are spending all 4 remaining days this week with Language Arts classes.
Besides ISTEP today, we had the chance to spend a little extra time outdoors releasing pent up energy and also going to gym and music!
Special thanks to the Lindzy family for the yummy apples and cheese sticks! They hit the spot!
Don't forget to go to bed early tonight and eat another healthy breakfast in the morning!

It's Friday and I'm Late In Blogging-Sorry
What a day! Assessments, rain, indoor recess, football on our minds...whew!
LA: We made some tweaks to our schedules today to allow more time for the assessments we had. It seemed to really make a difference! We were able to get through them, do Vocabulary Vine and even have time for Read Aloud before specials! Hooray!
HW: Don't forget reading projects are due on October 10th. There is an example in the office with Mrs. Stuckey if you are interested in seeing one for ideas. We didn't receive any word on AR today, but Mrs. Walsh is hopeful for Monday!
Math: We plowed through two lessons today, one on addition and the other on subtraction. The journals wanted us to do it many differnet ways, but we stuck to the good ol' fashioned way! Students worked very hard, as I wanted to make sure we got through these lessons before ISTEP+ next week!
HW: All journal pages that go with math lesson 2.7 and 2.9. Study links, too.
Health: Today we learned about the skeletal and muscular systems. We had great discussions about what these important systems do for our bodies.
HW: Get quiz signed.
We start ISTEP+ testing on Tuesday. This is a very intense week for our kids. We need to be able to focus well...please get to bed early, make time for a good, healthy breakfast and most importantly make time to play each night. Snacks will be provided by our very generous parents!
Next Friday, the Stars in Service crew will be collecting money for the Down Syndrome Buddy Walk that will be held on September 20th. If students bring in money to donate, they will be able to staple their bills up to the wall of money and also bring a piece of gum to chew! Please consider helping this amazing event!

Tomorrow's Friday Already?
Wowie, Wow, Wow! Another busy day today!
LA: Students had a sub this morning as I was out meeting with our Stars in Service Representatives. They had DEAR time along with practice with the spelling skills. They also read the story together to help prepare for tomorrow's assessments.
Just when we thought we had it...there has been a glitch found with AR...we are back on hold for taking AR tests. The corporation is really trying to work out all of the kinks before we go hog-wild with this. I'm so sorry for the delay!
Our ISTEP+ snacks have been taken care of! Thanks so much to the Drye, Brough, Salous and Lindzy Families for helping our tummies next week!
HW: Assessments are all tomorrow! Don't forget the spelling test is among these! Please remember that cereal box projects are due on October 10th. Parents--we have placed an example in the office with Mrs. Stuckey if that might help!
Math: We worked more with sets of data today. Not only did we do maximum, minimum, range and mode, we also learned about the median of a set of numbers today. Ask your child to explain this to you tonight!
HW: Students need to complete math box and study link 2.6 along with the extra practice worksheet.
Health: Students took the quiz today over the sense organs. Due to a fire drill in the middle of our time together, this was all we had time for.
HW: None
Just a reminder...WSTAR applications are due tomorrow. Also--tomorrow will be the last day that fund-raiser envelopes will be accepted. Don't forget that next week is ISTEP+!
LA: Students had a sub this morning as I was out meeting with our Stars in Service Representatives. They had DEAR time along with practice with the spelling skills. They also read the story together to help prepare for tomorrow's assessments.
Just when we thought we had it...there has been a glitch found with AR...we are back on hold for taking AR tests. The corporation is really trying to work out all of the kinks before we go hog-wild with this. I'm so sorry for the delay!
Our ISTEP+ snacks have been taken care of! Thanks so much to the Drye, Brough, Salous and Lindzy Families for helping our tummies next week!
HW: Assessments are all tomorrow! Don't forget the spelling test is among these! Please remember that cereal box projects are due on October 10th. Parents--we have placed an example in the office with Mrs. Stuckey if that might help!
Math: We worked more with sets of data today. Not only did we do maximum, minimum, range and mode, we also learned about the median of a set of numbers today. Ask your child to explain this to you tonight!
HW: Students need to complete math box and study link 2.6 along with the extra practice worksheet.

Our Week Is Half Over
Wow! Time flies when you are having fun! I don't know where our days go!
LA: Today we continued working on word parts and origins in our Vocabulary Vine program. The students are doing an amazing job with this! We also got to spend time with our reading buddies today. Part of our class and their buddies are preparing to be in a play. For those students that are not in this play, they will have an opportunity in the future to be cast! It's going to be super cute! We also worked with figuring out how to read diagrams and using dictionaries today. Good news--we got word that Accelerated Reader is now up and running. We can start taking those tests! Students will have plenty of opportunity to take tests during the day, please encourage them to use time wisely and get in as many tests as possible. Please remember that part of their LA grade for the quarter is reading independently, which is taken partially from reading and taking AR tests.
Special thanks to the Drye, Brough and Lindzy family for offering to send in ISTEP+ snacks. We still need a snack for Friday. Can anyone help us out? Thanks in advance!
It's time for some fall cleaning. We having a missing Harris Township Library book. If your child has accidentally brought home a hard cover, Series of Unfortunate Events book (#10), please return it to Mrs. Woods as soon as possible. The due date is looming and that's a lot of allowance money! :)
HW: Fluency and Flow and Spelling Tests are Friday.
Math: We had the opportunity to estimate using boxes of raisins today. We also learned about Maximum, Minimum, Range and Mode with our finger food! Some students even enjoyed eating their manipulatives when we were done. (I was very shocked at how many students threw them away claiming "raisins are gross!")
HW: Math box and study link 2.5 are due tomorrow.
Health: Today we reviewed the 5 sense organs and glued together man's head putting all the organs in the proper places.
HW: Quiz over sense organs is tomorrow.
Things to watch for in blue folders tonight: A bright pink ISTEP+ schedule. This will break down our week next week and give you some ball park times of testing. This is an intense week. Please let me know as soon as possible if your child will be missing any part of any day.

Tuesday, Tuesday!
What a busy day we had today!
LA: We worked with conjunctions again this morning and using them to help us write compound and complex sentences. We also learned about dependent and independent clauses today in our sentences.
HW: Fluency and Flow is due on Friday. The spelling test will also be given on Friday along with the other usual assessments. Some students had to bring home the grammar sheet to continue working on tonight. This was done in class and some weren't finished when it was time for Gym.
Special thanks to the Drye and Lindzy family for offering to send in ISTEP+ snacks. We still have two days we need snacks for.
Math: We continued work with place value today. We used calculators and experimented with adding and subtracting large numbers.
HW: Math box and study link 2.4 along with the extra worksheet are all due tomorrow.
Health: Today we learned about the 5 sense organs. We had a great discussion on the different parts of each sense organ and what they are all responsible for.
HW: The students will have a quiz over the 5 sense organs on Thursday. This will be an open book assessment.
Don't forget that we are still collecting fund-raiser envelopes. If you haven't turned yours in yet, it's not to late.
Things to watch for in blue folders tonight: PTO newsletter and the Family Game Night and Picnic RSVP. Please make sure you send this back in tomorrow so PTO has an accurate count of families and plenty of food!

Another Great Week Is Before Us!
Hooray for the Kingsmen and the Irish!
Here's a run down of our day:
LA: We had our spelling pre-test today. Our focus this week is on the long /i/ sound. Please check your blue folders for your lists to study in order to prepare for Friday's test. We also continued work with conjunctions in grammar. We even got to watch the School House Rocks, Conjunction Junction clip, to help us remember what to do with these parts of speech! We reviewed proper posture for good handwriting and started in on under curves to correctly make cursive letters. Last but not least, we got to go to Computer Lab for the first time this year. Students had a great time typing sentences with conjunctions.
HW: Fluency and Flow is due Friday. The students received specific instructions on what to do in the Words To Know section...please have them explain this and let me know if there are any questions. Both parts of the Words to Know need to be turned in, while the back of the Home School Connection only needs a parent signature verifying that it was done orally. Please also note--we have many Fluency and Flow papers being turned in without parent signatures verifying that the story was read aloud. Starting Friday, this will be an "Oops Slip" if it is not signed. Assessments from last week were returned today. The weekly assessment is the only one that needs signed and returned tomorrow.
We are looking for parents to send in healthy snacks for our LA kids during the ISTEP+ week. If you can help up out by sending in 25 healthy snacks on either Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of next week, please let me know as soon as possible. Please list at least 2 days that you can send something so we can have a back up if that day is already taken. Thank you for your help in keeping our minds on the test rather than our bellies.
Math: We worked with place value to the hundred millions today. We did a lot of work on the floor with white boards reviewing place value and values of numbers in those places.
HW: Math Boxes 2.3, Study Link 2.3 and the extra practice worksheet. We are still in need of a couple more boxes of raisins for a math lesson on Wednesday.
Health: Today was the first day with Mrs. Suddarth's Class. We brainstormed different things we want to learn about in Health this year. We also talked about the different systems in the body and then watched a Magic School Bus special, Inside Ralphie.
HW: None
My Homeroom Kids: Please check Ms. Grannan's blog at www.greetingsfromgrannan.blogspot.com for any Science information you may need.
Things to take note of:
*The Welcome Back Picnic and Game Night is this Wednesday from 5:30-7:30. Plan on coming to NP to catch up with old friends!
*WSTAR applications and letters are due by Friday if you are interested in trying out for the school wide news program.
*ISTEP+ window starts next week. If you know that you are going to be gone any part of the week, please let Mrs. Woods know right away. We have a limited time for make up testing and need to get that scheduled.

Thunder-y Thursday
Even after coming in a little soggy, we dried up pretty quickly and got busy with our day!
LA: We continued on with our new Vocabulary Vine program. We are up to 7 cards already. Make sure you share/ask about this at dinner tonight! We also spent more time on our writing and how to choos interesting words to perk up our letters. We're still finding main ideas and supporting details difficult...we even have bookmarks to help us remember the difference now. We spent some time reviewing this skill today during reading instruction as well.
HW: Fluency and flow is due tomorrow. We will also have our line up of assessments, including the one over the story, spelling, grammar and the weekly assessment.
Math: We started in Unit 2 today. We skipped the first lesson and went right to lesson 2.2. This was review for most of us, as it was just renaming numbers. Students worked together in pairs to complete the journal page and math boxes. Tests were also handed back today.
Happy Birthday, Kristin!
HW: Get unit 1 math test signed, it's due back tomorrow. Math box 2.1, 2.2, Study Link 2.2 and the review sheet are all due tomorrow.
Health: Students worked together to complete the chapter review today. We will go over this first thing tomorrow before our Chapter 1 test.
HW: Study for the test that will be given tomorrow. Page 44-45, chapter 1 review is due tomorrow. 1-19 only need answers and 20-24 need to be done in complete sentences. Tomorrow is the last day of Health. Monday starts Science with Ms. Grannan.
Don't forget the fund-raiser ends on Monday. Please consider giving one last push to sell some items to help out Northpoint.
Things to watch for in blue folders tonight: Market Day flyer and reminder about fund-raiser.

Another Steamy Morning!
After a slight scare this morning with our air not kicking on, we were back in business this afternoon with a cool down!
LA: We got to go visit our reading buddies again today. This is proving to be one of our favorite activities during Language Arts. We also did more review on subjects and predicates along with introducing simple and compound sentences that use conjunctions. We sorted spelling words and had a read aloud time as well. We also started our new Vocabulary Vine program today. We are going to be working on splitting words into chunks that we can define to find the meaning of larger words.
HW: Fluency and Flow along withe spelling test are all on Friday.
Math: Today was our unit 1 test. This took the whole time.
HW: None
Health: We reviewed yesterday's section and read about handling conflict at school. We also read lesson 5, which is about appreciating everyone, even if they are different than ourselves.
HW: The chapter 1 test is on Friday. Friday is also the last day of Health. Starting on Monday, our class will move to Science for the next 3 weeks.
A few reminders: Don't forget fund-raisers are due next Monday. It's not to late to help our PTO earn funds for all the amazing projects they provide for us.
A special thank you to the awesome moms that got the note cards last night and already had them hole punched and ready to go today! Thanks so much!

We're Back At It
After a slow start this morning, our pace picked up and we accomplished a lot today!
LA: Even though today is Tuesday, we had Monday activities, which included spelling pre-test, introducing story vocab and story skills and reviewing subjects and predicates.
Please note: We are going to be starting a new program very shortly. It is called Vocabulary Vine. In order to do this successfully, each student will need approximately 125 note cards that have been hole punched. If you are able to help punch holes at home, with all the supplies given to you, I would be delighted to hear from you. Please send me an email if you can help out and would like them sent home to work on!
HW: Fluency and Flow is due Friday. Please note, this is a shortened version on F/F this week. Students only need to read the story orally (it's a short one!) and answer the questions. We spent quite a bit of time going over how to write in complete sentences today, so there is no excuse for F/F this week! :) There is no word workout or skill sheet to complete this week due to the short week. The spelling test will be given on Friday.
Math: We completed a practice test today as a class. The practice test is a great study tool for tomorrow's test.
HW: A geometry review sheet was passed out and the worksheet from last week's centers is due tomorrow. The Unit 1 test is also tomorrow.
Health: We reviewed the lessons we have covered so far and students read the next lesson with a partner. We also went over all vocabulary we have learned this far in Chapter 1.
HW: Worksheet page 9 will be due tomorrow. Also--Chapter 1 test will be on Friday, which is our last day of Health for this nine weeks.
A Few Reminders: The PTO sponsored fund-raiser is going on until next Monday. It's not to late to help our school earn funds to use towards great projects! We are also still in need of items for Dr. Pepper, our class chinchilla. If you have a pet store outing planned, please consider picking up food, dust or shavings for our four footed friend.
We're already almost half way through our week! Wow!
