Wasn't the concert las tnight so adorable?? The kids did a wonderful job :)

Today in class we took our spelling test in the morning and went to school store. I am sure you will all be seeing a lot of sticky hands and bouncy balls this weekend at home!
In math we continued to work with money and review some older concepts such as area and perimeter.

New homework went home today and I collected many field trip slips-- if I don't have yours yet, please send it asap! Thanks.

Concert Update! We will be meeting in room 103 at Parcells before the concert tomorrow.

Also, I have a navy blue Michigan baseball cap in the classroom that no one is claiming.  It is a nice hat and I don't want it to get lost forever! Let me know if you think it is yours-- none of the kids think it belongs to them but I know it must belong to someone!

Today in math we working on subtraction different money amounts.  One thing that we made sure to focus on a practice a lot was the idea of 6 cents = .06.  The students are expected to use dollar and cent notation with decimal points at the stage in the year so we are really working hard to practice that at math and throughout the day.
In writing we are beginning our non-fiction animal reports! We did a report all together on alligators and the kids will do one on their own on any animal they choose.  Tomorrow is our library day so they will all be picking out their book then.  We will also be using the internet to research for this project---they are already dying to use google (I don't know why they think it is so cool to "google" something but they do!) :)
Ask your child what animal they are planning to report on!
In reading we began homophones today.  We used words like Deer and dear to play a few games on the smart board and talk about the different meanings that the 2 words have.

THE SPRING CONCERT IS THURSDAY!!! Please have your child at Parcells by 6:45.  There will be signs and teachers there to direct student to the correct room (the room our class will be meeting in will be labeled "Stewart" but we do not know the room number yet so you will have to check the signs when you get there!) Parents will then wait in the auditorium for the show to begin.  I think you are going to LOVE the show--the songs and props are too cute! Hope to see all of you there!

Spring Concert

The concert on the 26th is at PARCELLS Middle School at 7pm.  Kids need to be there by 6:45. I mistakenly wrote Brownell in an earlier post so please note that it is actually at Parcells! So sorry about that!

See you all at Parcells on the 26th!
