Measurement "Paw-ty" Next Week

 

 

 

The following note is being sent home today (Friday) in backpacks.  Just in case it doesn't make it to you, I thought I would post it too!  If you don't have stuffed animals at home, or forget on Monday, I will have some available for use!

 

Also, if you didn't buy pancake breakfast tickets in advance- it's not too late!  They are available at the door.  Hope to see you all at Applebee's tomorrow morning (I will be there to serve you pancakes at 8:45!)

 

Dear Fellow Stuffed Animal Lovers,

WOOF! Meow! Your presence is requested at our measurement paw-ty!! You are invited to bring your favorite stuffed animal to school next week. Please be a responsible pet owner and remind your stuffed animal to be on their best behavior while at school. You will need your stuffed pet animal to rotate to several different math stations, in which you will learn about the different areas of measurement (height, weight, length, volume, distance).

 

Date of Measurement Paw-ty: 4/29-5/3

 

P.S. Sorry, but only stuffed pets allowed. Please keep your other pets at home.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Zuniga

Book Talk Examples

 

Below are some examples of students giving book talks.  These are a bit dated, they are from Reading Rainbow, but the summaries they are giving about the books are excellent!  When your child writes his/her summary of the book they read, please keep these examples in mind.  The idea is to tell a little bit about the book and encourage other students to read the book as well! 

 

In class we have been talking about: 1) A "hook" to start with - something to catch the audience's attention 2)  Giving an interesting summary of what the book is MOSTLY about, and 3) Either telling why they liked the book or why someone else should read the book.

 

I hope this information helps!  Please call or email me if you would like more information.

 

 

 

 

 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Mural

 

 

We teamed up with Mrs. Houschouer's class for a really neat art project for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Each child in both classes used oil pastels to color one 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper.  Then we made a huge mural of Martin Luther King, Jr. and hung it up in the hall.  Since we are unable to send the final product home I am posting a picture for you to see.  It came out really cool!  The kids were very proud of their work and enjoyed the collaboration between the two classes!

 

 

 

 

Enjoy the weekend - it looks like we may actually see some sun!
