Historical Fiction Book Talks
Our 3rd round of book talks start on Wednesday, March 11th. We made the notecards in class a couple of weeks ago so that students could get them started at home. The only change to this book talk is a small bit about the event or time period the book takes place in. You are […]
3/2 – 3/6
Happy March! February was a blur and I apologize for not sending out a blog update. I struggled with the cold that was going around and it took me a long time to finally start to feel better. We have 3 weeks until spring break and they are going to be very full! First up […]

I don’t know about you, but January seemed to be a vary long month considering how many no school days we had. I am looking forward to February and a more consistent school schedule! Although a 5-day week seems more daunting it actually goes by more quickly and more smoothly. We are in such a […]

Happy New Year! I had a really nice break just hanging around Eugene and being with family. I hope you did too! Last week we eased our way back into school and the kids did great! We are starting fractions in math and I would encourage you to check out the blog to see what […]

Just 2 more weeks until winter break! I always enjoy this time of year, when I can look back over the year and reflect on the good, and look forward to a new year and goals I would like to make. It is such a unique time in the school year because we get an […]

Our class has been working so hard the last couple weeks! Math has been so productive and many of the kids are really starting to get the hang of multi-digit multiplication. In writing, we have been learning some editing and revising skills and are working on publishing our first completed writing piece. Friday we got […]
11/4 – 11/7
This week is parent teacher conferences. I really enjoy conferences and the chance to sit down and talk to each of you. Conferences are only 20 minutes with no transition time included. This is such a short time and it is really important that families show up on time, or a little early, so that […]
10/21 – 10/25
This week is safety week. We will be practicing all of our drills and talking about safety at school and at home. I would really encourage you to check in with your children about the drills we practiced at school and see if they have any questions or concerns. This can bring up some difficult […]
10/7 – 10/9
We have a very short week this week. Just 3 days at school! Just because it is short does not mean we won’t be busy. Last week we worked on the standard algorithm for addition with numbers up to 1 million. Please encourage your children to practice this skill by making up problems for them […]
9/30-10/4
Well…we are into October and I am hoping the craziness that is the beginning of the year is starting to wind down. In the last two weekends I have co-hosted a baby shower, and attended two weddings! So I am apologizing for the very late post, but I have been pretty busy. This week we […]
