Homework for Tonight

Math 7.5  We completed many practice problems in class...a great day of dividing, as the kids are really beginning to grasp the concept of long division...DMSB!  Your help is REALLY paying off!  Just so you know, I assigned several of the problems on the homework side, as optional.  However, they can complete them for Star Bucks!!!  These optional problems are represented and displayed with a circle around them. Like I said, we spent most of the time practicing problems on the ActiveBoard and  I was so excited to see the active participation, growth, and understanding. Keep up the focused and intense effort!!!

This Week In Writing and Reading - Mrs. Bakke's Room

Reading:  The main comprehension skill for the week is comparing and contrasting.  We will also be working on fluency rate and looking for context clues.  Redaing logs are due on Friday.  I am really seeing a difference in the students who are practicing their reading at home.  They have until March 1st to reach their personal AR goals. 

I hope all of you are also enjoying reading Charlotte's Web with your families as part of our One District One Book program!

Writing:  We will be working hard this week on finishing our persuasive essays.  Editing/revising should be finished by tomorrow and then we will be spending a couple of days on final drafts.  We are looking forward to sharing these with you at conferences.

Math: Division, Division, Division!!!

Next Week:  We begin Science with Mrs. Lund

Please bring in your creatively constructed Valentine’s Day cardholder on February 14th. We will be holding a contest for the following categories: -- Most Hearts --- Most Creative --- Most Anti-Valentine --- Most Red, Pink, and Purple --- Most Storm Spirited ---- Most Effort ---- The judging will take place by the students on February 14th. Good luck!
