Fun Run and Reading Celebration

Tomorrow we will get to take part in two very exciting events. First- from 9:00-9:45 we will participate in the Beauclerc Fun Run. Make sure you bring in your donations so you can enter into the drawing for the I-Pad. For each $10.00 donation, you are able to submit a raffle ticket for your chance to win.

Then at 10:00 we will all travel to the Multipurpose room for our Reading Celebration Reptile Show. In Room 138 we had 100% of our students MEET the reading goal! Way to go CHAMPS!!

Mrs. Kornblum visited our room this morning and she stayed for our Math lesson on Nets! That is a new word for us, but boy did we ever WOW her!! She was so impressed with our ability to find surface area on nets- and then we took it a step further and actually drew some nets based on 3-D figures! Impressive is what she said!!!

Can you believe February is here? Next Wednesday is also an Early Release Day - so mark your calendars. It is unusual that we have 2 in a row.

We will have a small Valentines luncheon on the 14th. At that time we will have a Valentines exchange and share our yummy treats! Watch for a note about what we need to come home early next week.

February 21 is a holiday - No School :-)

Thank you for supporting us this year- we are working hard!

Enjoy your day off!

It is hard to believe that the 3rd nine weeks is upon us! This year just seems to be flying by.

Next Thursday is our Fun Run sponsored by PTA. Please consider making a cash donation so our school can continue to hold great activities for our students. The kids love the activities during the Fun Run, and this year, for every $10.00 donation, you get a chance to win an I-Pad.

Thursday is also are Reading Celebration! Good job Room 138 for meeting that goal at 100%.

Reports cards will not come home until February 1st. Your child is aware of his/her report card grades!

Have a Super Fun Weekend!

It's Friday - REALLY?????

When we tell you this week has gone too fast, we are not kidding! Did we even have a break? It seems so far removed!

We are busy in Room 138. We have successfully transitioned from the holidays to full force WORK mode!

There are a couple of things you can do at home to assist your student with classroom success-
* Students should be working in FCAT Explorer for Math and Science.
* Students may access Destination Success from home. We have placed reading strands for student practice.

Remember we have 2 holidays coming up... So try to be present these next few weeks on regular school days!

Enjoy your weekend.

2011 - Full SWING!

It was good to be back! Tomorrow marks the 80th day of school! Hard to believe that only 100 remain after that. Where does the time go?
Today was BUSY! We will probably spend the next 100 days just this busy. There is still so much to do, and the middle school teachers start "checking" in on us. In fact, all of our students are invited to duPont Thursday night from 6-8 to tour the school and see how the Dragons survive middle school!
In Science we are learning about energy. Today, we worked with closed circuits. It was amazing to see what the kids tried to include in their circuits!

It was GREAT to see all these happy faces! We only had a few that fell asleep today :-) Make sure you are getting plenty of rest!

Girl Power... Rock it OUT!!

Woops... Sorry Alex B- didn't mean to cut your head off there!

Nathalie focusing on not shocking herself!

Becky had to "readjust" the glasses on that one!

We were just able to squeeze in a story before Art and Music! HOTDOG... our test will be this Friday instead of Monday. It will be that way for the next 2 weeks because of the holiday and planning day, and then we will be back to Monday reading tests.

Say hi to Ricky- the newest member of Room 138- Ricky is with me for a second or third time (I can't remember). He was in my Sunday School Class at church, and it looks like he will again be in my Sunday School Class next year since I got a promotion to sixth grade :-)

It was a busy day folks... I don't know about you but at the end of the day I was tired! There seemed to be a little bit more of homework tonight, but we should be back on track tomorrow!

Have a great night!
