Time has been running away from me! I can't believe the end of the month is here, and we are also at the middle of our second trimester. We will be doing some midyear checkups within the next week or two. It's time for MAPs testing. On Wednesday we'll do the reading, and on Thursday we'll be doing the math. We'll also do the winter writing prompt, some spelling review, and a test on adjectives.
I am so proud of how many students have tested out of their multiplication time test, and are working on their division facts. There are a few students who are doing their time test in under 4 minutes! Keep it up!
We've started our science unit on Rocks and Minerals. Ms. Koll introduced using the Inspiration and Power Point programs on the computer. The students will be using those to share what they've learned. We have been learning how to take notes by outlining. If anyone has any cool rock collections, and would like to share them with our class, let me know.
Soon, it will be time for our Valentine/Friendship party. I will be sending the notes home for the next round of class donations. I'll talk to the kids about valentine containers.

Thank you very much for the update. I really appreciate you keeping us in the loop outside of the progress reports and all.
Rock On kids! You are doing a great job with your math! Thanks for all the extra help that the kids get Mrs. Bird.
