Some people will tune in Sunday for the game...the actual sport. Some people (like me) will be tuned in for the commercials...I can't wait! :)
LA: Today was our normal assessment day! We plowed through our usual and even had time for poetry before IMC. We learned all about Lantern poems today! We're getting to know about many poems that have similar features, make sure you keep them fresh by talking about the different kinds each night.
HW: Now that Science Expo is over, put your efforts into your Play A Good Book Project. The due date is going to be here before you know it!
Math: We had a fantastic time today reviewing fraction skills by playing Fraction Bingo! We also had some fun reviewing multiplication and division facts by playing the same game.
HW: None--Our next test should be somewhere around next Thursday!
Health: What a great review of lesson 1 today. We spent the time working with partners and then reviewing whole class. The chart we filled out will come in handy for next week's quiz!
HW: None
Don't stay up to late on Sunday...we want you bright eye and bushy tailed Monday morning!

Tonight's The Night!!!
You're officially in crunch time!! At this point, you are more than likely T minus 5 hours to finish up your Science Expo projects! :) I can't wait to see them! Please remember to put them in room 23 when you bring them in tomorrow morning!
LA: We had a fantastic day today, working on morning work, vocabulary vine words, and more poetry. We learned and wrote about Tankas today, which are very similar to Haiku's. We also had a delightful discussion about metaphors and similes. Be sure to share our knowledge at home!
HW: Fluency and flow is due tomorrow, along with the simile/metaphor worksheet. Don't forget that tomorrow all the normal assessments will be given.
Math: What's the Chance? We spent the day learning about probability today. We had a great time carrying out different experiments to see just how it works.
HW: Page 220-221 and study link 7.11 are due tomorrow.
Health: Welcome Mrs. Suddarth's Class. We had a great time talking about the digestive system and how nutrients and vitamins help our bodies stay healthy.

The Countdown Is On For Science Expo Projects...
Only 4 more days! All Science Expo projects are due on Friday! I'm looking forward to seeing everything you have learned while completing the scientific process!
LA: We're back to our old schedule. We started a new story today, Dear Mrs. LaRue: Letters From Obedience School. This is a great fantasy story about a dog who is sent away to obedience school and plots his escape! We're working on prefixes, drawing conclusions and words ending in -ed and -ing. This week's fluency and flow should go rather quickly: answer the questions in complete sentences, get parent initials on words to know and spelling words section and create a caption for each funny picture on the back! Easy as 1, 2, 3! :) We also started typing up poetry in computer lab today, preparing for our published books that are right around the corner! In addition to all of those fun things, we also completed our January school wide writing prompt about heroes in our lives.
HW: Cursive spelling words are due first thing tomorrow morning as well as the hero writing. Fluency and flow is due Friday. Normal assessments will be given on Friday.
Math: Are we improper or just plain mixed up? We learned about changing improper fractions to mixed numbers today and vice versa! We also reviewed lots of fraction skills and continued our practice as writing them as decimals.
HW: Finish page 211, math boxes 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 and study link 7.8
Health: Today was the last day to work on food guide pyramids. They look great out in our ELA! We also worked on making signs for our healthy food fair tomorrow!
HW: Bring all needed items for the Healthy Food Fair with you in the morning!
Don't' Forget:
Tonight is the USA Skating Party from 3:30-5:30! Be careful!

Another Great Day With My Home Room Friends!
We had another fantastic day together.
Many of us completed our food guide pyramids, or came very close. We will finish those on Monday! Don't forget, the healthy food fair is on Tuesday!
We also spent some time working on cool clown art this morning. We've discovered it's never to early to start to think about Galaxy Gallery. :)
We also found time for more ISTEP+ writing and science practice.
We finished our day completing our Original Works Of Art projects. They are beautiful!

What A Lovely Lego Day!
We had a fantastic fun filled day today! We switched things around a bit, staying in home room groups all day!
We had a great time this morning, working on Science ISTEP+ and writing practice in order to prepare for the next round that begins soon!
Some of our home room friends that aren't normally with us had a bonus gym and music day as well!
During Health, we had a great time starting assemble our 3D food guide pyramids! Don't forget to bring boxes or pictures of food if you forgot today!
We also had an awesome time with Mr. Mikey, our All About Learning presenter. He was here with us today with a great presentation using legos. We got to build race cars and then actually race them. Sadly, very similar to real life, the teacher's car only stalled and we were dead last. :( We had a terrific time learning all about aerodynamics, down wind and up wind when it comes to racing cars! Watch for pictures to be posted soon!
