Wacky Wednesday

Thanks to Andrea for helping me create today's title. Today was a bit wacky.  We had some delays in taking the MAPS test, which threw us off schedule just a tad.  Later, I was sooo hungry that I apparently tried to time travel, walking us to lunch a full hour early!  We will end our day with Library, and we will definitely be in the Science Lab tomorrow.

Help!
Are you able to help in 201 tomorrow morning? I have several classroom and Pod jobs that need attention. Send me an email if you are able to spend some time here tomorrow. Thank you!

Today we....

• Began our morning routine. We did a little math, and we did a little reading. We learned how to organize our work space and homework so that we can start the day on the right foot!
• Took the MAPS test. This took up most of the morning.
• Created "Name Glyphs," using a code to communicate "us stuff."
• Read the first few pages of Jack Adrift: Fourth Grade Without a Clue, which is our first read aloud of the year.

This evening at home....

• Check your child's Gold Card. It may have a little note from me about a missing homework assignment! If this is the case, please sign to indicate that we are on the same page.
• Make sure that you have checked the book bag for important forms: CPS Code of Conduct, Lunch, Emergency, Media, Opt Out Communication
• Students, read the Teammate Top 10 List with care.
• Use the Graphic Organizer to show/write about one example for each tip. There are 10 Tips and there are 10 spaces.
• Complete the Bucket page for your table and teacher. Try to be specific!  
• Don't forget to bring a book to school each day.

Tomorrow we will.....

• Go to the Science Lab
• Get our new Math books: Place Value, here we come!
• Go to Art.
• Read and discuss!
