Mabary's Memos January 30~February 3

              February is going to be a very busy month! 

                                               

                                      

  

Valentines Day is also nearing and I will be sending a class list for Valentine cards home this week. We will exchange cards on Tuesday, February 14th. Please have your child decorate a box to use as a mailbox. The box should have a slot large enough to receive cards that might have candy included. Also, your child's name should be clearly written on the box. There should be a way to open the box as the children will have the opportunity to read their cards in school.  Please have the children write the names of their classmates, and their own names legibly.  You may use shoebox, cereal box or sturdy gift boxes. Cover the box with foil, wrapping paper, or any other material. The children may decorate their box any way they desire.  Please make sure your child has a Valentine for each student in the class. We have 29 students in our class.                                     

 MATH                                      

     We will be learning about decimals over the next couple of weeks!! This unit includes place value of decimals and adding/subtracting decimals. Please encourage your child to practice his/her multiplication facts each week and review concepts that we have covered in class on a daily basis.

December 19th-22nd

                                                     

         Ms. Mabary's class would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday!! This week we will be busy finishing up our studies in the different subject areas. We will work hard to maintain a structured schedule and remain focused on our work. I hope everyone enjoys their break!

**Our holiday party will be this Wednesday, December 21st, from 10:30-11:30. The children will be participating in a calendar exchange during the party. Please have your child bring in a wrapped 2012 calendar to exchange with another child at the party. (They have some really cute ones at Micheal's for only a dollar!!) The boys will exchange with a boy and the girls will exchange with a girl. (Example: animals, sports, popular books and movie characters that are kid friendly, etc.) Please feel free to join us for the holiday party, if you can!! Mrs. Davidson sent an email with details about what we will need for the holiday party. Please be sure to send in your donated items for the holiday party as soon as possible, so we can make sure we have everything we will need for the holiday activities.

 

 Writing EQ: How can I use my understanding of what I read to respond to the literature?

The students are learning how to write a response to literature.  The class will continue to learn how to write a summary about a story, (which is a component of writing a response to literature.) The children will learn how to write a judgment they then can include in their response to literature.  This will be accomplished using supporting evidence from the text, looking at the writing of other authors, and your child’s own personal background knowledge (connections.) We will also finish publishing our favorite holiday stories.

 

 

                              

 

Math~EQ: How can I apply geometry concepts to the real world?

December 4th-9th

                                                   

           Over the next three weeks, we will be busy finishing up our studies in the different subject areas before the holidays. We will work hard to maintain a structured schedule and remain focused on our work. We have a great deal to accomplish!!

     We will have a PAJAMA DAY this Friday to help support Barnes and Noble during this holiday season. Students may wear pajama pants and short/long sleeve tops to go with it. They may also wear slippers on Friday.

Reading EQ: How can reviewing story elements help me better understand what makes up a story?

 Writing EQ: How can I use my understanding of what I read to respond to the literature?

The students are continuing to learn how to write a response to literature.  The class will continue to learn how to write a summary about a story, (which is a component of writing a response to literature.) The children will learn how to write a judgment they then can include in their response to literature.  This will be accomplished using supporting evidence from the text, looking at the writing of other authors, and your child’s own personal background knowledge (connections.)

Math~EQ: How can I apply geometry concepts to the real world?  

      PLEASE encourage your child to practice his/her multiplication facts EVERY NIGHT! We still have some students who are struggling with multiplying larger numbers simply because they don't know their facts!! HELP!! We will continue to practice different strategies to help us solve larger multiplication problems and also continue our unit on division this week. During the next few weeks, we will also be learning about various geometry concepts (see below). The students will take the checkpoint assessment on Monday, December 12th.         

The objectives listed below have been used to lead your child to mastery of the concepts covered in the 2nd Nine Weeks Unit of study.

2 digit and 3 digit multiplication and division 

Measurement of Angles

·         Use appropriate tools and other methods to measure angles (protractor, angle ruler, paper folding, draw a diagonal on a square)

·         Concept of a half rotation (180˚) and full rotation (360˚)

Geometry and coordinate system

 ·         Examine and compare angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight)

 ·         Use angle size or side length to classify triangles (equilateral, isosceles, scalene)

·         Describe parallel and perpendicular lines in plane figures

·         Examine and classify quadrilaterals 

 ·         Compare and contrast quadrilateral relationships  (Compare angles and length of sides)

·         Understand, apply and locate a point in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane

·         Graph ordered pairs in the first quadrant

Science EQ: How does force affect the speed and motion of an object?

 

      We will be finishing our unit on Simple Machines this week. The students will be required to identify simple machines using different size objects and observe how force affects speed and motion of an object. They will also be expected to explain what happens to the speed or direction of an object when a greater force than the initial one is applied. In addition, they will demonstrate the effect of a gravitational force on the motion of an object.

      The holidays are a magical time of year.  With your help, we can bring happiness to Bullard children and make sure they have a wonderful holiday! Until December 9th your child can stop by and “catch a snowflake” from the tree in the front lobby.  Each snowflake will be marked with a gift a child has selected, but may otherwise not receive without your help.  Please attach the snowflake to the unwrapped gift and deposit it in the box located in the lobby no later than Wednesday, December 9th.  

 

       There will be an adult in the lobby prior to announcements each morning to assist your child in choosing a snowflake.  Please discuss with your child how many snowflakes they are permitted to take.  If you are unable to purchase a particular item, please have your child return the snowflake and select another.  If you have any questions, please contactTracey Brownlee at:   traceybrownlee@mindspring.com Thank you for your support!

  

Bonus: What is Ms. Mabary's favorite holiday movie? ("It's A Wonderful Life!")
