Welcome Back!! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday with your family and loved ones!
This week will be a bit of a busy one. I will be out of the building at a math curriculum meeting on Tuesday and I will also be gone on Friday. I am heading to Memphis Friday morning to run a marathon for St Jude Children's Research Hospital this weekend. I have done many half marathons in the last year but this will be my first attempt at a full. Math this week we are going to spend two days finishing up Unit 5. We will spend Wednesday practicing division strategies and perfecting our skills. Then on Thursday we will go through Part 1 practice test and they will take the Part 1 test on Friday with the sub. We will then do Part 2 practice test next Monday and Part 2 test next Tuesday. Social Studies we are moving on to the Missouri Compromise and then to the Civil War. Students will be bringing their Westward Expansion assessments home this week. They did a really nice job on them. Reading- We are still focusing on non-fiction text and students will be getting the opportunity to start a self directed project that will last until Christmas break. More information on this to come out soon. We are still working on fluency and I am seeing some growth in all students, so this week I am moving them up a passage level to help encourage growth. Great job kids!! Writing- Students finished typing their opinion pieces on Tuesday and this week we will start looking at persuasive writing and something they would like to see implemented at Willard East. They will have the opportunity to possibly persuade Principal Miller to make the change they suggest. It should be a fun way to finish up the month of December. Please encourage your child to make good choices with the subs this week. We have had some issues with behavior in the past on sub days. Principal Miller is aware and will be making some trips down the hall to monitor their behavior. Upcoming Events: Tuesday Nov 28 - Sub Friday Dec 1 - Sub- Tiger Pride 2:30PM Thursday Dec 21 - Class parties half day dismissal at 12:30PM Dec 22- Jan 3 Christmas Break - No School
