I just wanted to remind everybody that tomorrow is our field trip to Knowlan's Family Farm. Please make sure that your child is wearing tennis shoes and either wears/brings a jacket. We will be touring the farm and be outside most of the time. It is supposed to be cooler tomorrow, so I want to make sure everybody has a jacket if they need one. I believe the students will learn and enjoy this trip to the Knowlan's Family Farm.

Since the beginning of the school year, we have been working on addition and subtraction facts, but now we are getting ready to start on multiplication. By the end of the year, we want the students to have fluency with their multiplication facts. We will practice them a little each day by making and using flash cards, playing a variety of games, and doing some timed tests. Even though we will practice in class, I would like for the students to practice at home too. You can create your own games with the facts or just practice all the flash cards once a night. Practicing twice a day will help them improve their fluency and master these facts.

I have linked a website to a multiplication game website. I will show the students in class how to navigate the website and show them how to play a couple games. This could also help master fluency.

Words of the Day are eat and read. We went over the long e and when these two letters go walking, the first one does the talking. We watched a fun video with words that go with this rule. Then the students helped me come up with words that also fit the rule. Some examples were clean, tea, team, treat, bean, neat, beach, peach, and teach. Tomorrow we will be working on -ee. I would like for each student to have 3-4 words that have the -ee in them. If you could go over this with your student, so they are ready for tomorrow, I would appreciate it!

Hey, Everyone!

I just wanted to remind the parents that this week is Parent Teacher Conferences. All of you have filled at the times that worked best for you and I sent back the time of your actual appointment. If something comes up and you cannot meet at that time, please let me know a day and time that will work for you. If something needs immediate attention, please contact me and we can see what we can do.

The students have been working really hard on an activity called "Who am I?" for all the parents for this week. They are excited to see if you guess correctly or not.

I look forward to seeing you all this week and hope everyone has a great week!

For anyone who needs/would like ideas for using technology tools in the classroom, I recommend looking at the Technology for Education Blog. On this blog, it provides useful technology e-tools for teachers. It includes articles about Digital Posters in the ESL classroom, Amazing presentations using Powtoon, resources on where to go for free resources and so much more.

But today in my classroom, the students learned about the classroom rules around Technology. The use of technology in classrooms enhances learning and motivates students when used correctly. Teachers should have rules set in place whenever technology is being used. Some of the basic rules are don't turn on computers while the teacher is giving instructions, only use the programs and applications you are asked to, respect all equipment, do not enter any online games or social networks, and do not drink or eat around them. These rules are displayed in my classroom to remind the students that technology is important and to not abuse it.
