As we begin a new month, it is good to take a look ahead! Pack the Place is Wednesday and Thursday of next week! Be sure to wear your spirit wear here at school and stay to cheer on our teams!
Academically, we will be continuing to practice our reading strategies in RtI using what we are reading in Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie.
In math we will continue to explore angles and their relationship to each other.
Have a great week!

January 25th
Well it is already the final week in January! Despite the gloomy weather, the time is flying by so quickly!
This week in math, we are beginning to learn about the various types of angles and how to solve for supplementary, complementary, and vertical angles. We will be having a short quiz on Friday over this material.
In RtI, we are focusing on the "Making Connections" reading strategy in relation to the novel we are reading, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie. Each day we will be focusing on a different type of connection, in addition to, getting ready for our verb test on Thursday.
Have a great week!

Martin Luther King Jr. Week
With IOWAs behind us, we are ready for another week!
In math we are reviewing all five of the area, perimeter, and circumference formulas that we have learned. We will be applying them in real life situations and finishing the week with an Equations BINGO on Friday!
In RtI we will continue to read and discuss poetry, fact and opinion, and our new novel, Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie.

Welcome to Winter!
It has definitely been a busy week....snow and all!
In math, we are continuing to work with area and perimeter and will be learning the formula for circumference. In RtI Reading, we will learn about drawing conclusions and making inferences; as well as, read the Readers Theater play, "The Plot Against Robin Hood."
Next week, students will be taking the IOWA test Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning. Be sure to get a good nights sleep and eat a healthy breakfast!

Happy Holidays
Well 2009 is ending on a very positive academic note! Each of my students has put forth a great amount of work and effort that makes me confident that 2010 will be just as successful!
Have a safe and happy holiday! See everyone next year! :)

December News
It was another great week, ending with Pajama Day today!
In math, we learned how to caluculate the perimeter of an object and will continue into next week learning about area. We will use manipulative and interactive games to reinforce these concepts throughout the week.
In RtI Reading we began our Christmas Carol activities and finally began reading today. We were very lucky to have Dr. Tiede read with us. Thank you Dr. Tiede! Next week, we will finish reading the play and, at the end of the week, watch the video. It is rated PG. If you have any objections to your child watching this, please contact me at cnino@ccsd66.org.
Have a great weekend!

December is Here!
As always, it was great to meet with many parents this evening at conferences! Second trimester is getting off to a great start and I know that the positive progress will continue!
Next week, we will begin to learn about the perimeter of squares, rectangles, triangles, and parallelograms in math. We will also learn the equations necessary to find each perimeter and even solve for an uknown side when the perimeter is given to us.
In RtI, we will continue to write and develop our editorials for Language Arts and then begin reading the play, A Christmas Carol. This play will take us through next week, as well. We will be discussing the elements of a drama, stage directions, theme, plot, and comparing/contrasting.
Have a great week!
