Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 1-25-16

Parents,

Reading - As students are starting over with a new AR goal for the 3rd quarter, I will be checking reading logs more often.  Students are expected to read every night and complete their logs.  Students may be asked to stay in for recess to read if they are not completing this portion of their daily homework, even if they are caught up with AR goals.  Reading every night is an expectation, and an essential part of reading growth and vocabulary acquisition.  

HOMEWORK:

  • firsthand and secondhand worksheet

SCIENCE:

Parents,

Jo Jo's Dine Out Night is tonight! - Thursday, January 21

Grades are posted in Powerschool today.

Looooong Division.  We have been working on long division over the past couple weeks,  Most students are doing an awesome job learning this!  I have been sending home some extra practice pages that can be done at home for more review and can be returned for extra Class Dojo points.

"I Have a Dream" Speech - The students are starting a 2 week long assignment today modeling an "I Have a Dream" speech like MLK. We will be using Aurasma for this project. The Aurasma app will combine a picture they draw with a recording. We will be working on this in class but they will be asked to practice their speech at home. We will be recording their speeches through Aurasma on January 29th.
