Happy second quarter everyone! We have so much happening this week, and the remainder of this month, so I wanted to reach out via blog to let you all know what we are up to here at Marshall and in room 9:
Math: We are smack dab in the middle of place value. We have been working with numbers up to 100 and this week we will go up to 1,000. Like we did with smaller numbers we will represent it in different ways (expanded form, place value disks, etc…).
ELA: In phonics we will be looking at vowel teams ai/ay and oi/oy. We will also learn about verbs in grammar. We will also focus on sentence structure a bit more through interviews with people in our schools with the goal of writing a proper sentence about the person we interview at the end. The sentences will go with a picture the students take of the person on the iPad, and they will also be able to write their sentences on the iPad if they choose.
Science: We will begin our science lessons this week. First we will begin talking about what is a scientist before diving into our first official unit on solids, liquids, and gas.
Field Trip: Our field trip to Lamar Haines is this Thursday, October 20th. We will be leaving about 9:00 am and returning by 2:00 pm. We have a couple of volunteers joining us already, but anyone who would like to accompany us may. Remember, due to lack of space on the bus, all adults coming with us must follow us in their own vehicle. Please reach out and let me know if you would like to join us!
Fundraiser: Did you know that Marshall is in the middle of our big annual fundraiser? You may not because I was out and have not had the chance to really tell you about it. lol. It’s fine though, because it is not too late, you still have all this week to sell discount cards!! These are really good ones too! Savings to places like Fratellis, Martannes, Brandy’s, and more (see below). These make excellent stocking stuffers, gifts for family and friends. This is how we make the money to help pay for the supplies at the beginning of the year, so that our families do not have to incur this expense. Every card you sell helps replenish these funds. As always, there are prize incentives. Even one card sold puts your child in the drawing for prizes, and every 5 cards is another entry. The TEACHERS of the grade level who sells the most get a lunch provided by Principal Reasor, and the class with the most sold gets an ice cream party. I know the competition is over this Friday, but I know some kiddos have begun selling. It is not too late to reach out to friends and family! We can do this!! Upset victory can be ours!!
Movie Night: This Thursday is family movie night in the gym. Grab your pillows and blankets and join us for "Room on the Broom." First 60 families in the door will receive a free copy of the book. See flyer below.
