HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!!

So this is our last week before the Winter break and I'm sure you are all excited for the holidays.  I know I am.  
Just a few notes to remember for this week:

1) The Winter performance is on Thursday at 8:30 am and 10:30 am.  Please be sure your child is dressed in black pants and a white top.  Having a scarf and hat will add to the theme of the show too!

2) On Friday we will have our Winter Pizza Party in the room and will be watching a movie.  Thank you to the parents who are organizing this event.  It will be a great way to finish the week and the year.

NOTES

Please note that students are working on completing a 6 hour reading log in order to win a ticket to Magic Mountain.  The reading that students are required to do for homework on RAZ Kids every night CAN BE considered part of this special reading log.  I am happy to sign off on it - but they MUST be reading on RAZ Kids every night, per my homework schedule.

Well sorry :( but it is Monday!!

Here's an update of happenings for this week.

1) Congratulations to Alfredo Cossio for receiving the Student of the Month Award for demonstrating good manners!

2) I am sending home last week's Weekly Comprehension/Spelling/Grammar test.  Please be sure to sign and return.

3) I am also sending home today the results of your child's first quarter district Math Assessment.  Please also sign and return the bottom portion of the notice.

4)This week will be the 4th and 5th Grade 1st Quarter Science Assessment.  Please make sure your children study their study guides.  Next week they will begin their new rotation with either myself, Ms. Perry or Ms.. Valiquette (5th grade)



Wednesday, October 31st - a.k.a. Halloween

The annual Halloween parade will begin promptly at 12:45 pm.  Parents are welcome to watch from the sidelines and arrive earlier to help their children into costumes.  The parade will end at 1:30 and students will then be dismissed.  Have fun and enjoy the evening trick-or-treating if that's what you will be doing.

The school is once again doing a "Candy Split" - a flyer went home last week about it.  Your children will more than likely collect way too much candy.  We are asking that you halve your candy and bring the rest in for me!!!  No, seriously, we collect candy for a food shelter/community center that helps young children.  What a blessing it is to be able to help others.

************

A few other reminders:
1) Please be sure your child is logging onto RAZ kids everyday and completing the reading tasks in their reading level.  They must listen to a story, then read the same story to themselves, then they must take the quiz.

2) If you haven't yet committed to the 5th Grade overnight field trip, this is a gentle reminder that we must know your decision by December 1st along with a $50 deposit.

3) Please remember to sign your child's behavior chart and planner every day.  They will receive a color change for not completing homework if it is not signed.

4) Upcoming dates to remember: 
    Monday, November 12th - no school in observance of Veteran's Day
    School will be closed for the whole week of Thanksgiving Nov. 19th - 23rd

Ok, here's another cute picture to sign off with.  Have a great week everyone.  Remember to be kind and gentle to others.

Week of Monday, October 8th, 2012


Good morning to all - yes, it is Monday again and we have another full week ahead in Room 32.

Language Arts 
This week the students will taking their first District Quarterly Literacy Assessment.  There are a total of 60 questions and they will be completing the assessment in chunks each day.   We are also beginning the 2nd unit of California Treasures.  This unit focuses on how the American West changed during this country's early years.  

Math
The first quarterly District Math Assessment will begin next week.  We still have a lot of work to cover.  This week will be algebraic expressions and prime factors.  

Please remember it is vitally important for your child's education that they come to school every day, unless of course serious illness gets in the way or other family emergencies.  Often there is no time to catch them up if they are absent.

Tuesday, October 16th
All 5th grade students will be having a mandatory audio metric (hearing) test here at school.

Nothing much else to report, so have a great week.

Ms. Bennett

HAVE A GREAT EVENING!

Week of October 1, 2012

IT'S GOING TO BE A SCORCHER TODAY!

Brace yourselves everyone, it's going to be hot, hot, hot outside today!  Drink plenty of fluids and keep calm!

Week of October 1st News

Language Arts - next week (October 8), the students will be taking the first quarter District Literacy Assessment.  What I have chosen to do this week is review skills and standards they will be tested on.  Therefore there will not be a particular weekly story read, or specific comprehension, vocabulary or spelling quiz.  There will be various comprehension passages they will be reading for homework and in class, and various grammar skills they will be working on.

Math - we are hot and heavy into division.  This appears to be an area of confusion for a number of students.  Please do your best to help them at home, but remember not to complete their homework for them!

Shockingly, this week is a FULL work week, no days off, no shortened days, a regular work week.  Please make sure you child comes to school every day and on time.  We have so much to do and not enough time to do it!

GREAT NEWS!!!

Thanks to some very generous people in this world, our latest Donors Choose project was fully funded over the weekend, with a random stranger donating the last $22 we needed!! (What a lesson in teaching kindness and giving!)  We can now look forward to receiving one more Nook for the classroom.  Thank you to the parents of Room 32 who helped make this happen.

That's all the reminders for this week.  
 Feel free to leave comments at the end of this blog if you would like to...kind only!!

Important Reminders for September





LOTS OF REMINDERS!!
Good morning to all - I have lots of things I'd like to share with you today.

 1) Thursday, September 20th - PICTURE DAY. Please send your child to school looking their most beautiful!!  They may bring clothes to change into after their pictures have been taken.  Don't forget to send in your picture order in the envelope that was sent home to you a couple weeks ago. 

2) Friday, September 21st - VAN GOGH SPELLING CHALLENGE - Students will be participating in a school wide spelling challenge.  The 5th grade spelling challenge words have been uploaded to Spelling City.  Make sure you let your child go online to practice their words, play games and become 100% proficient.  In addition, this is a fund raiser for the school, so please collect as many pledges as you can and return the pledge form and money to me this week.

3) Parent Conferences - conferences are scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 27th and Friday, Sept. 28th.  I have notified all parents that I requested conferences with and confirmed our times.  

4) Early Dismissal - On Thursday, September 28th, students will be dismissed at 1:35 p.m.  A movie will be shown in the auditorium, the cost is $5.00, students will receive a bottle of water, some popcorn and some twizzlers.  This is also a fund raiser for the 5th grade overnight field trip, so we are encouraging to have as many 5th grade students there "representing"!!

*****************




The next deadline to return book orders is Friday, Sept. 28th.  You are also able to order online using our personal classroom code H84K9Click here if you wish to place your order online.

 ***********************




I have one last project that needs just $100 more to fully fund.   Our classroom will then receive another Barnes and Noble Nook.  I have less than 38 days to fully fund this project.  If you could help with a small donation, I know the students will be absolutely thrilled to receive another Nook for our ever-growing Electronic Library (currently we have 10!!).  Here's the link  

Well I think that's all for now.
Have a great week.

“So, please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install, a lovely bookcase on the wall.”
Roald Dahl
*******************

First, thank you to all the parents who were able to attend last night's informative "Back to School Night" session.  I appreciate that you took the time out of all your busy schedules.

A reminder for you that if you received a notice about scheduling parent conferences, please return to school as soon as possible with your 1st and 2nd choices of times.  I will do my best to accommodate your requests.  Parent Conferences are schedules for Thursday Sept. 27th and Friday Sept. 28th.

I look forward to seeing most you tomorrow evening at 6:00 p.m. for our rescheduled "Back to School Night".

Parents, on Thursday, September 28th the school will be having an early dismissal (1:35 p.m.) due to parent conferences.  There will be a movie shown in the auditorium.  This movie will be sponsored as a fund-raiser for the 5th Grade, to help with our overnight field trip fund raising.  We are looking for 5 parent volunteers to help with the movie - duties would include selling tickets at lunchtime on the yard; taking tickets prior to the movie beginning; handing out water and a snack to the students and supervising in the auditorium during the movie.  If you are able to spare a few hours after school on Thursday, September 28th, please let me know via email.

With regard to parent conferences, I will be sending out an email (in the next couple days) to parents that I wish to conference with.  

That's all for now.
Ms. Bennett

HAPPY MONDAY TO ALL!!!




Well I know it's been a while since my last blog entry because of the recent family emergency I had in London.  Thank you to all who sent emails with well wishes.  It was bittersweet to say goodbye to the family there, but I am happy to be back in the classroom and getting back to what I'm here to do - TEACH!!

I'd like to remind you all that this Wednesday, September 12th @ 6:00 p.m. I will holding a "Back to School Night" meeting in order for you to learn more about what will be going on in Room 32 for your students this year.  I look forward to seeing you all then.  This meeting will only be for 30 minutes.  Just a reminder, this is not a time for parent conferencing.  I will be arranging those with you for the end of September.  

Another reminder is to please be sure your child goes on to RAZ kids every night to complete their reading homework.  They have been assigned a specific reading level and I would like them to complete their level before they move on.  They must always listen to a book first, then read it by themselves, then take the quiz.  

Spellingcity.com has all the weekly spelling lists and is a great source for your child to practice their spelling words. If you are not sure how to find the lists, please let me know and I will send you the directions again.

Another important date to remember is Thursday, September 20th - this is Picture Day - be sure to send your child looking their best.  They may bring clothes to change into after they have had their photos taken.

That's all for now folks.  Don't forget you can always contact me via email at anytime.

Magical Monday!!!

Good Monday morning to all.  I trust you and your family had a wonderful weekend, played, rested and went to bed early last night!!

This week begins our regularly scheduled programming.  We hit the books in Language Arts with our California Treasures curriculum.   In math we are continuing to work on place value and will be learning about tenths, hundredths and thousandths.  Place value is an extremely important skill for your child to learn and understand.  You can really help them on a daily basis, especially when you go shopping...point out those decimal places and have them name place value positions for numbers!

Here's a link to a very fun website with a game to help reinforce place value.  Trust me, your children will love it and will learn something too.

Spelling City is another great site for your kids to play around on.  The best thing about the site is that not only are they going to have fun learning how to spell, the words they will be learning are the weekly spelling words.  Every week your child will be having a new spelling list and each of these lists are available online at Spelling City.  If you are not sure how to find Ms. Bennett's lists, just follow these very simple directions:
  1. Go to spellingcity.com (or click the link above)
  2. Click the tab "find a list"
  3. Type in Lisa Bennett in the "search term"
  4. Make sure it is set to search by "teacher name"
  5. Click "search"
Voila!  It's as easy as that.

Well I certainly hope your child's first day back at school yesterday was an exciting one and they are raring to go.

Thank you to all the parents and students that did check the blog yesterday, read the classroom guidelines and emailed me or commented with the answers to the two questions.

If you haven't already, please be sure to send in $5.00 for the planners.

Remember to return all paperwork required.

A HUGE THANKS to all the parents and students that brought in supplies, graphing notebooks, and other materials for the classroom.  I am forever grateful for your support.
