Wow! What a great week! We had so much fun at our Big Event on Friday. We played games with the high school football team, had our faces painted, and saw the high school drama team perform. Every student in our class earned at least 10 Soar Bucks and was able to attend the Big Event. For second quarter students will need to earn at least 15 Soar Bucks.
On Thursday we had so much fun with designing a roller coaster on our devices. After we designed a roller coaster, students worked together in small groups to create a roller coaster with spliced pool noodles, tape and marbles. Students worked together to create the appropriate incline planes so that their marbles would run across their entire roller coaster. It was so much fun watching their excitement when a marble made it all the way across their roller coaster.
Parent Teacher Conferences are next week. It is our goal that 100% of all families sign up for a conference. If you have not been able to sign up on Sign up Genius please email me aimeenoskowiak@nixaschools.net. I will send confirmation notes home this week for conferences.
This week we are starting a unit on Laura Ingalls Wilder. We will also tackle word problems in math and continue to work on addition and subtraction fluency. In writing, students will work on editing their work and learn the importance of rereading what they write. Students will continue working on improving their reading levels in Guided Reading groups. We are working hard on reading with fluency.
