October 21, 2016 update

Hello everyone!

We have been busy bees in room 218!  We just completed our Personal Narrative post-assessment, and we are working hard in ST math today.

Here are a couple of friendly reminders-

The Friday folders handed out today contain the parent conference forms for the fall.

A reminder that conferences are Monday Nov. 7 and Thursday Nov. 10.  The form sent home today has a space to put your preference of date and time, as well as a spot to list siblings that attend BEU.  If there are multiple family members, our administrators will help schedule those students to make it convenient for families with multiple conferences.

So, please look over the conference form carefully and return it on Monday with your date/time preference.

Here is a quick rundown of our past week in room 218:

Writing-  We have finished our personal narrative essays, and we will be moving on to a theme writing about "What America Means to Me" next week. This theme is to prepare for the Grandparents Day event on November 14.   More to come on that soon.

Math-  We continue to work with multi-digit multiplication, and we worked on a very challenging chicken nuggets lesson on Thursday!  Next week, we will begin reviewing and have the Topic 5 test.

Reading-  THis week, we continued to study how we can make inferences and predictions based on what the text says along with our background information.  Next week, we will go back and review character traits.

Science-  We have been able to start reading in our new Science textbooks!  We have read some great information on erosion and weathering, and the pictures in the book are just stunning!



Have a great weekend, and please return the conference forms in the folders Monday!  Thank you!
