I hope your week is off to a great start! My husband and I are excited that tonight is the night we get to use the dinner gift card and concert tickets you all generously gave me as a holiday gift. This was such a thoughtful gift and will be a welcome change to our Tuesday routine. Thank you again!
If your child has had a turn with the Flat Wizard and you have not sent me a picture of your child doing an act of kindness, this is your reminder! I only have 2 pictures as of now and our wizard has visited 6 homes! I can't wait to see all of the wonderful things your children are doing to put a little love in the hearts of loved ones. Here is a link to the slideshow: https://docs.google.com/
I will continue to update it as we get more pictures! Thank you!
On Friday we will celebrate Valentine's Day with a class party. It will begin at 2:20 pm following last recess. All are welcome to join us for the fun! If your child chooses to give valentine cards to classmates, please make sure they have one for all students. The list of names is on the blog post from 1/28/20. https://staceygoodman.blogspot.com/2020/01/weekly-update-1-28-20.html
Your child should bring a bag or box to school on Friday to hold cards. This should be small enough to fit on the student desk.
I will submit the February book order on Thursday (and possibly later if you need a few extra days)! Our class code for online ordering is HB4N7.
There will be no school next Monday or Tuesday due to Mid Winter Break. Enjoy the extra time with your families!
Keep up the good work on math homework! We are adding and subtracting fractions and additional practice at home really helps students to be successful. This unit is the foundation to the work we'll be doing next so it is crucial that students understand this. Mr. Saunders' math page continues to be a great resource for homework help! https://mr-saunders.com/math-4/
Our Second Continental Congress debate on Friday was one of the coolest student activities I've done in all my years of teaching. The best part- it was completely student led! I was the moderator as the Patriots and Loyalists debated if the Colonies should become separate from the British Empire. Many good claims and rebuttals were shared. Students had done lots of research before the debate and some even prepared arguments against the position of the other side. The quality of research was evident in the thoughtful things students had to say. Enjoy pictures from the fun below.
