It would be extremely helpful if you can donate a ream of copy paper. Our supply is getting pretty low.
Thank you Ms. Nelson (Raegan); The Martin Family (Maranda); Ms. Jones (Nailah) for your generous snack donations. They were very much appreciated. If you have not donated snack to our classroom yet, now's your chance. We have snack everyday in our room. If you haven't donated in a while you either need to send in a donation or send a snack with your child. We have about 5 more days worth of snack right now.

The Lego trip was awesome! Everyone got a chance to create an electronic race car, and test it out. Check out the pics below.

Updates
Reading Logs/Book-it Program
As a reminder, your child should be reading at least 20 minutes per night and recording his/her thoughts in their reading log. Once they've read you should verify that they've read and read over their comments, then initial in the appropriate spot. In the month of January we had 4 students out of the 16 in our class complete their reading log. These students were Nailah Jones, Raegan Williams, Jordyn Hill and Maranda Martin. All 4 of these ladies received a Pizza Hut book-it certificate to reward their efforts. Keep it up!
Field Trip
On Thursday we will have our in-school Lego Field Trip. If you have not already done so, please send it the $4 fee to cover the cost of the trip. Thank you in advance to Ms. Miller (Romantic's mom) for volunteering to help out.
Cell Phones
We've had a few students bring operable cell phones to class. Please be sure to have your child leave their phone at home, as we have a phone in our classroom that they have access to.
Writing
We just finished our unit on Many Moment Stories. A many moment story is a personal narrative story, in which students recall all of the details within an event that's happened in their life. The stories that students wrote were really good, many of them have done well with recalling details and getting them onto paper. One thing that we're all working on is using punctuation appropriately and using more than just periods in our writing.
Math
We are wrapping our 6th unit in math. This week students will be working on learning the beginning stages of multiplication, including arrays. Now would be a good time to purchase/make multiplication fact cards to practice facts at home.
Reading
This week I'll be working on retesting students; therefore, they will be pulling books from our class library to take home rather than getting Guided Reading books from me.
That's all for now.

Field Trip
Just a reminder that on Monday we'll be heading to the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor for a field trip to see the Black Mambazo vocal group. We'll be leaving out at 9:00 and returning at 1:00. Students need to be in our standard school uniform. I've also had a few students ask about spending money, they won't need any money for the trip as there will be nothing to purchase.

Classroom Update
I hope that you all had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday/break! I certainly enjoyed the time I spent with my family and friends.
It's hard to believe that we just finished our 70th day of school already. I am beginning to see the growth and progress that each student has made since the beginning of the school year, which is exciting!
Here are a few updates:
Reading Logs
Reading logs will continue this week. Please be sure that your child spends at least 20 minutes per day reading at home. Each child will have a book to take home from school. The book must be returned the following day in order for them to check out a new book.
Math Homework
Math homework has also resumed this week. Remember homework is assigned 4 days per week (Monday-Thursday) and should be completed the night that it's assigned. Homework should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete. If your child is struggling with the assignment, please send a note letting me know what the problem is, so that we can address it the following day in class.
Social Studies
This week in Social Studies we are continuing to discuss the geography of Michigan. Ask your child to tell you what some of the natural characteristics of our state are. (Hint: Great Lakes, mountain ranges, islands, inland lakes, and sand dune areas are a few)
Days out of school
January 15th is a professional development day for teachers, therefore students will not report. On January 18th, school will be closed in observance of MLK day. Please be sure to make arrangements
In School Field Trip
On February 4/5th we will be participating in an in school Lego Field Trip. Please keep an eye out for an information sheet to come home with your child within the next week.
