Aloha Families!

This is a very busy, but short week.

On Wednesday we will have our school wide Turkey Trot.  Please have your child wear comfortable clothes and shoes.  It is just like a field day.

We will also be making our pumpkin pie on Wednesday, so please send all ingredients on that day.

Here is our homework for the week:

Aloha Families!  We are back on schedule this week with a full week of school.  This week we will be reviewing the previous weeks spelling skills.  There is not a set list of words.  For spelling homework just have students review each skill.

This week I am also sending home a Turkey for your child to "Disguise".  You can use any materials you have at home or just color in with crayons or markers.  This is a fun activity that is optional. Please have students return the turkeys by Friday.

Here is this week's homework.

I will also be sending home a letter for a cooking project that we will have next week on Wednesday. Be on the lookout for it this Wednesday!

Have a fabulous week!

Aloha Families!  I hope Halloween was fun for everyone.  It was nice to see you all at the parade.  We had a fun day of activities and treats that included M&M graphing, Halloween Stories, writing a story to match our Halloween pictures, videos, brain breaks and making creepy edible eyeballs!

This month is filled with lots of holidays!

No School November 4, 11, 27 and 28th.

Here is our homework sheet for the week.

In math we have begun double digit addition with regrouping.  Use the math games to help reinforce this concept.

Have a fabulous day off and enjoy your week.

Aloha Families and Happy Halloween Week!!

I know our little goblins are getting excited, but we will try to maintain business as usual this week.

Monday and Tuesday we will still get out at 1:05 to finish conferences.  Wednesday release time is 12:45.

Here is our homework page for the week:

I decided to try out some Halloween words for fun this week.

The Addition Battle game is very simple, but I don't have a card with directions.  

-Turn over 2 cards.  That is your first 2 digit number, then turn over a 3rd card.  That is the number you will add to the 2 digit number.  The person who gets the correct answer first, wins the cards.

We have been working on strategies to help solve these types of problems.

On Friday we will have our Halloween parade from 8:10-8:30. Please have your child wear their costume to school.  They can wear it all day, or bring a change of clothes.

It will be a regular day of learning and we will release at 2:05.

We will be watching a movie after lunch.  If your child would like to bring in popcorn to share that would be great.  Please make sure it is popped, as I do not have a microwave.  They can also bring in an extra juice to drink during the movie.

I hope to see you all on Friday morning at the parade.  Have a great week!

Weekly Happening 9-29-14

Aloha Families!

This is our last week of the quarter.  Time has really flown by.  We finished up our timelines and I
will be sending them home this week.

We have started Chapter 3 in math.  It is all about addition and subtraction strategies.  We are working on ways to make 10, adding more than 2 numbers and memorizing our facts.  At home keep up with the fun math games and if you have a computer or iPad get on Reflex Math a few times per week. This will really help your child improve their math facts.

Here is our homework for the week.

This week at school is also spirit week.  There are many different activities happening throughout the week.  

-Tuesday we have an SURF assembly and students are asked to wear a red shirt.

-Wednesday is Dress Up day-Wear nice clothes

-Thursday is Aloha Wear Day

-Friday - School colors Blue and Green

*Wednesday please have your child wear tennis shoes for PE.  We have had lots of broken slippers.

Please remember to send in your conference slips so that the office can schedule a time for you.  We will have conferences the last week of October.

October 6-10 is Fall Break.  I hope you and your family have a relaxing and enjoyable break.
