August 25, 2010 - Study Guide and Vocab, Speed Drills, and States Notebook
We do Reading VOCAB every Monday. I will try to post the VOCAB on my blog because some words are not listed in the back of the book. Everyone will need to make sure they have their VOCAB defined for Tuesday because we start writing VOCAB sentences and using them when we read the story. Also, they will have a VOCAB Quiz on Fridays after their Reading Test. This will include matching definitions to the words and starting this week, filling in a sentence with a VOCAB word. The matching part is exactly like the definitions they were given or looked up so it is very important that they are studied every week!!! To study for their Reading Test, I give them a Study Guide every Thursday. They should be looked over on Thursday night to prepare for the test on Friday. Both the VOCAB and Study Guide will be turned in Friday morning.
We are continuing with our Multiplication/Division Speed Drills in math. This week they will be drilled on the 0-5 tables. Please make sure you are studying your multiplication tables!!
Lastly, this week we are going to start working on our "States Notebook"! Mrs. Robison’s class will go to the Computer Lab on Wednesdays and Mrs. Barron’s class on Thursdays. This is a great project and the students will have so much fun doing this all on their own. Everyone needs to bring a small binder to keep their states in and the handout that they have been given should be placed in the front so they know what states they have done or need to complete. At the end of every nine weeks we will have states notebook check. You can print out a template at home for them to use, or they can do this on their own paper but it should be written neatly and only one state per page. This is a school project and should be completed during our computer lab time. They will look up the following information on each state on http://www.factmonster.com/: (I also have a link for this website under the "links" section)
1. State Name
2. Organized as a Territory/Became a State/Joined the Union
3. Capital
4. Abbreviation
5. Governor
6. Motto
7. Nickname
8. Flower/Tree
9. Bird
10. Gem
11. Song
12. And any other additional facts they want to include.
The handout they bring home today will have the states for this nine weeks listed.
*** If your student participates in Kirby Banking the Kirby Banking Reps will be here on Sept. 8th to beginning the banking for students.

We will do the speed drills about five times, but once a student has made a 100, or missed none, they no longer have to do them. After most, or all, have completed the drill with a 100 we will move on to the next set. I will let you know when we are going to move on to the next set so you can practice at home.

Report Cards and Pizza Party
This week has been crazy and we have stayed super busy! However, the kids earned a pizza party for all making their AR goals and I would like for them to be able to have it this Friday. If everyone sends a few dollars I order the pizza or if I have some volunteers to get this together for us that would be GREAT! Also, if anyone would like to bring us a sweet treat to eat with the pizza that would be super too! PLEASE let us know ASAP if anyone can help, I think it is very important for them to be rewarded for the hard work they put into reading! Thanks!!!
