What do a bunny, penguin, bear and monster have in common?
This week we read a collection of books that all touched on a similar theme: CHANGE and FRIENDSHIP. Ask your child how friendships/feelings changed in these stories, and what the common theme was.

Monday Reminders

2/27/2015

1 Comment

 
1) We are taking the CoGAT test Monday and Tuesday morning. Please make sure your child is rested, fed, and on time. Make sure they have a water bottle and a good snack, too!

2) Monday is a class Pajama Day. All 5 tables scored a tie for Dojo Points!

3) If you love grammar, then make an effort to use adverbs repeatedly at home this week. Since adverbs are such a tricky part of speech, I have been using them regularly when I speak to the class. I always try to emphasize them, and often speak in 3rd person, much to their annoyance.  :)  Feel free to join in on the grammar fun.

4) Thank you to the parents who donated some spaghetti and popsicle sticks. The STEM activity was a hit. We are continuing with it next week. Pictures/videos to come.

Here's some pictures from our class party in February!

  • Informational Writing- 5 Paragraph paper on how animals survive in winter (adapt, hibernate, migrate)
  • Non-Fiction Text Features- Captions, Table of Contents, Index, Titles/Subtitles, Labels, Maps, etc.
  • Habitats- Rainforest, Ocean and Fresh Water down, Desert and Woodlands to Go.
  • Telling Time- to the 5 minute mark, tricky times such as 9:55 (which looks like 10:55!) elapsed time, word problems, time lingo (half past, quarter til...)
COMING SOON TO A CLASSROOM NEAR YOU:

Want to see Coach Funke get dunked on? Sure you do! Join us for a fun night of laughs, entertainment, and basketball. The Harlem Wizards are coming to town and have asked our Coach Funke (and other teachers around our district) to play in a charity basketball game hosted by Highland Park High School. 

The Harlem Wizards show brings oohs, aahs, and serious laughter inspired by sky-high slams, hilarious humor, dynamic energy, fan participation, world class tricks and basketball wizardry. The aerodynamic athleticism coupled with comedy and community at a Wizards event will bring fans to their feet and smiles to their faces.
The artistry of the Wizards is evident as they elevate the star-status of the home team featuring teachers, principals and local notables. Never in the history of sport will the losing team have so much fun... Coach Funke hopes so.

DOORS OPEN 6:30 PM - GAMES STARTS 7:00PM
