This week has been real hectic....FMA's testing for Reading, Writing have been given while Science will be given on Friday. Results are looking positive...please realize that this is a bench mark and is used to show improvement during the course of the year.
Math Unit 5: Well we are underway with our unit on Money... Ooops...the district wants to cover this unit at the end of the year....so I thought should we skip to 6 or continue....I chose to continue since this unit is very short and we are ahead of the district timeline anyway.
I believe that this unit, in this order, has actually been a positive with our kids....They are counting change faster than kids have done in the past...I can only attribute to the emphasis the math program does on looking at patterns in addition and subtraction (plus a few of my own!!) Bottom Line is that we will still be well within the district timeline in math instruction and when "money unit" does come up be looking for some advanced math at that time (multiplication/ division)
Trunk or Treat: This year as in the past we are asking parents to donate a bag of candy for "Trunk or Treat"
Trunk or Treat is when all the kids dress up for Halloween, go on a huge parade around the school and Trunk or Treat parents in the school parking lot (Trunks full of candy) and the kids get the treats as they go by during the parade. This has been a lot of fun for our youngsters and we would like continue with this successful tradition. So please, if you can donate a bag of candy asap ...also the class with the most candy is supposed to win a prize!!!
PBIS: Kids who have been on blue all nine weeks for behavior and have no make up work due to Mr. Fierros by October 27 will get to participate in a Hot Dog and A Movie!!!!
On October 28, Mr Fierros will cook the hot dogs in the afternoon and then the class will enjoy the meal while watching a movie. This is a reward for being prompt with homework, good behavior and completing the end of the nine weeks....
So parents keep an eye out for a donation request for our treat for the kids.
We are looking for the following items:
hot dogs
buns
paper plates
napkins
chips (potatoe, tortilla, and fritos)
pickles
catsup (kids like this more than mustard)
mustard (just one...honestly)
cups
sodas
On - line parents have first dibs on donations so send a note to Mr. Fierros so I can tally what we will need..
Parents, Thank You very much for making this a great year so far!!!!
Mr. Fierros
