Happy Monday!

2/23/2015

It was so nice seeing all the smiling students this morning!  Many seemed to be well rested and ready to get back into our routines.

We will started a new story, and new homework packet.  This story is title's Jan's New Home.   In Math we are continuing with Place Value, however Everyday Math jumps right into pennies and dimes without introducing them first.  So I am going to spend Monday introducing the coins and their values.  You can help students at home by having them play with real coins.  You can ask what that coin is and how much it is worth. 

In Writing we are focusing on developing characters as well as character, problem, solution narratives! This will continue into March.

This week we will do our 100th day activities in the classroom, which means next week we will start our Social Studies unit on Maps! :)

In folders today you will see a new Book Club Order Form (another one will come home later this week) and information on the PTO Spring Dance.

Tomorrow you will receive March's lunch menu, information about the rescheduled Movie Night (March 4), as well as information about April Vacation ABACUS.  Please be sure to check folders nightly!

Next Monday is another spirit day.  Students and staff are encouraged to dress as their favorite book character!  I can't wait to see what characters come to school next week!

Happy Snow Day!

Can you believe how much snow is out there?!   Mr. Bower is running out of places to put all the snow!  Our driveway that used to be able to fix six cars can barely fit two now!  

This is just a reminder the 100th day projects are still due tomorrow.  This snow day gives you an extra day to work on it! Yahoo! :)

Starting this upcoming Day E  (currently scheduled for 2/12), we will have a new specials schedule.  The only day/special that changes is Day E.   Our new schedule is the following:

A: Technology
B: Music
C: Art
D: Gym
E: Technology

Fridays will still be Library days. :)

Have a great snow day!  Hope to see the students tomorrow!

Reminders & Valentine's Day!

2/5/2015

Hello,

Tomorrow (Friday, 2/6) will be another Spirit Day at Willett.  Students and staff are encouraged to wear the color red for "Wear Red Day!"

There was not a homework packet this week due to the snow days.

Although we have had many snow days, the 100th day project will still be due on 2/10.  This is to ensure all students have enough time to present their projects and bring them home before school vacation (starting 2/16). 

Friday, 2/13 is a half day for students. Instruction begins at 8:45am.  Students may enter the building at 8:30am.

I am sending home a class list today for Valentine's Day.   If your student is bringing in Valentines, he/she must bring in one for every student.  We have 25 students total.  Also, Mr. Cateon is requesting that studnets do not send in candy or edible Valentines. Students are not required to bring in Valentines. Students may start bringing in Valentines on the 12th. We will pass them out on the 13th.

Have a great rest of the week,

Mrs. Bower
