January 26th, 2009


Hopefully your child shared with you about our field trip to Ramona Quimby. Our spelling paragraph this week is based on it. We are also working on oy/oi words, punctuation, and a/an articles. Please enjoy Beverly Cleary's website:


What An Act Ramona!

Full of anticipation, we boarded a bus for Richland. Beezus, an actress, started the play. We thought the most enjoyable part was the Quimby's voyage to Whopper Burger because of the kind, old man. Our favorite character was Ramona because she was a funny and annoying sister. At the end of the play, we were excused to ride the bus back to Kennewick.


Our story this week in reading is Madam CJ Walker. Students can be looking for hair product ads or information about Madam Walker to bring in for our concept / question board. I have added this link so you can read the story at home and practice with your student. Each child has their login and password information.


If you have any questions, please email me.


Math: We will be finishing up unit 6 and completing our mid-year assessment. Next unit - MULTIPLICATION! YAHOO!


Mid-Trimester reports go home on Friday. Please sign the envelope and send it back with your child on Monday. There will not be yellow slips this week. The mid-trimester reports will take the place of those.

January 19th

There will not be a spelling paragraph this week due to the limited class time.

Thursday is "field trip" day. Please have your child on time or they will miss the bus to Richland. We will depart promptly at 8:45 am. If your child has a Lincoln Leopard shirt, please have them wear it or yellow/black that day.

Friday is a no school professional day. Teachers will be in a training on our reading series "Imagine It!". Enjoy the 3 day weekend!
