Studyisland

Studyisland is a wonderful learning tool that reinforces the skills we are working on. Students have assignments, which are graded, to work on. They may also work ahead on other skills too. Once a student has mastered a skill, they are awarded a blue ribbon. We will be doing things throughout the year for students who have earned a certain number of blue ribbons. Once a student has reached 75% mastery, the games that go along with the skill are unlocked.

Studyisland can be accessed anywhere there is internet connection.  Visit Studyisland. Your student should know his/her username and password.

Parent Conferences

Thank you to all the parents who came out for parent conferences! It has been great to get to meet with all of you and get to discuss your student’s progress.

If you were unable to come and need to reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks for all you do!!

Box Tops for Education

Our school is collecting Box Tops for Education. It is a great way for our school to earn money.

All you have to do is cut out the box top from your packages and send the box tops to school.  We will do the rest.

Visit the

Box Tops for Education Website   to learn more or to see what products have box tops on them.

 

Have a GREAT weekend!!

Reminders

Here are just a few reminders as we finish up our fifth week of this school year! (Wow, it has gone by fast!)

      Lesson 4 Test will be tomorrow. (Friday, September 21)

      3’s Multiplication Test will be tomorrow also.

      Tuesday, September 25 we will have our Map Skills Test and Classifying Animals Test.

      Parent Conferences will be on Wednesday, September 26. (You should have received a note about this yesterday.)

      We are still asking parents to join PTO for only $5. If our class has 100% of its parents join by October 4, the student will receive an ice cream party.

      We have started reading logs. Students should be reading EVERY night for at least 20 minutes. Please remember to sign each night.

Yesterday, we took a trip to check on our garden spots. We can see where the seeds we planted last month have started to sprout. Here are just a few photos of the girls spot.

Multiplication 0's &1's

We have begun our quest as a class to master the multiplication facts 0-12s.  To achieve mastery, students must past a written timed test on each of the facts (with 80% accuracy) and past off each of the facts on Math Facts in a Flash (a computer program we have).  Once they have passed a fact they will receive an ice cream scoop to color and we will display them on the wall.  In the spring, all students who have mastered 0’s-12’s and have all of their ice cream scoops will be invited to an ice cream sundae party.

Last Friday we took our first 0’s and 1’s facts test.  We had a majority of the class to pass the written timed test.  Several students have already earned their first two ice cream scoops by passing the written test and Math Facts in a Flash.

Congratulations to them on their hard work!

Check back next week to see who else has mastery their multiplication facts.
