Now that we are in the 3rd Quarter, we will REALLY be getting down to business. We will be working hard to practice and sharpen our skills for 3rd grade to make sure we are ready for 4th grade. We will also be preparing for the FSA which will be in April/May. I am really going to be pushing them, and expecting them to be responsible for their behavior and learning. Our classroom will have 14 kiddos in person, and 4 at home, so it will look a little different than it did at the beginning of the school year. Since there are now more kiddos in the room, we will spend most of next week reiterating the classroom rules and expectations. If you can help reinforce these things at home, it would be GREATLY appreciated! Classroom Rules- 1. We are READY. -We are prepared to learn and listen. 2. We are RESPECTFUL. -We listen to others and use kind words. **There has been an issue with arguing back with teachers (not just myself) lately. I have reminded them it is disrespectful to talk back, so I am hopeful it will be better moving forward :).** 3. We are RESPONSIBLE. -We take care of our supplies. classroom and environment. 4. We are SAFE. - We are careful and make good choices. 5. We TRY OUR BEST. -We put forth our best effort, even when it is hard. We DO NOT give up. Picture Day- Vernon Photography will be at our school taking our "official school picture" on Thursday, January 21, 2021. These pictures are used for our yearbook and student school records. Every student must be photographed. If your student is a virtual learner, they can be photographed at the end when we are done with the rest of the students. I will provide you with that time in a separate email If this does not work with you, please contact Vernon directly via email at:[email protected], or by phone at:(727) 329-8962 February Fact Challenge- We will be having a February Fact Challenge! We will be working together on our multiplication facts 1-12 and turning it into a classroom challenge. More details are to come, but I have already posted a section in Google Classroom for them to be able to practice their facts at home. Again, I will be sending out more information on it soon, but wanted to give the heads up in case they want to go in and start to practice/memorize their facts :). Again, next week will mainly be focused on reiterating classroom rules and expectations, but here is what we will be starting to work on and continue to work on the following week. · In Language Arts we will focus on reading passages and finding evidence to support topics and ideas. · In Math we will start to look at fractions as numbers. · In Science we will continue to look at plants, and talk about plant reproduction. · In Writing we will be working on using evidence to support our ideas in our writing. · In Social Studies we will discuss Inauguration Day. We will also start Week 15 - Civic Virtues/Being a Good Citizen.
