This year I have been using brag tags with the class.  These are small tags that students earn throughout the year.  The class has really looked forward to seeing who will get a tag on Friday's.   They cannot wait to bring them home at the end of the school year.  I plan to continue using them next year.  

 I was wondering if there would be any parents who would be willing to help cut the tags out.  I would print and laminate them and send some home with your child to cut at home and return when finished.  Please email me or send a note if you would be willing to help out!

Today in math we played a game called Multiplication Baseball.  The students really liked the game.  Many asked about having the directions so they could play at home.  I have placed the directions under the "Math Games" section on the website.  If you have any difficulty finding it please let me know.  Let's play ball!

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a wonderful intercession and enjoyed the little taste of spring we got.  This week we have started talking more about M-Step testing that will occur in May.  Please take some time to talk with your child about this important testing.  My goal is to help them be relaxed and confident!

This week we have been learning about sound.  Students have learned a fun song with Miss Fielder to help remember vibration, pitch, and volume.   I have attached the sound below if you would like to sing it at home.

Under the "Helpful Websites" tab on the left I have added the direct link to the typing websites on Mrs. Carr's webpage.  These would all be great practice for students to work on typing skills.  M-Step in the spring will be taken on the computer.

Happy New Year!  What a crazy couple of weeks it has been with Snow Days!  I hope you have enjoyed some relaxing time at home.  We have a student teacher, Miss Fielder, working in our room until sometime in April.  The class is really enjoying having her with us.
