October News

The last couple of weeks we've had some fun events! To begin with, we had our first math celebration lunch. Every student who earned at least one percent higher on their Place Value posttest or kept their score at 100% (sometimes harder to do than anything!) got to eat lunch with the teacher and enjoy a special treat.  We will continue doing the same thing for each math unit.  Second, the students completed their first Art Through the Ages project. Thank you to our parent volunteers!  Finally, we had a windy, but wonderful field trip, where we worked on math, science, and writing in the wetlands environment. Thank you to our volunteers who came with us!

Jog - A - Thon Assembly

We met our goal for raising money for our school! Thank you for supporting our school. We have outstanding parents who support us! We all received Altara T-shirts!  We also won 5 out of the 7 prizes given away for bringing in Jog-a-thon money. Oh, and did I mention if we met our goal we got to slime Mr. Jameson! He is such a good sport!

Current Event - Get Ready!!

Watch the Current Event Video for an example. Mrs. White is always fun to watch!

Book Reports

The book reports were fabulous! They were so much fun to listen to. They weren't as scary as many of the the students thought! We gave them more than once to many different students. I'm looking forward to listening to everyone's Current Event this month. They will present in front of the whole class.

Wow! What a Week!

We have reviewed all of our first unit in reading and tested on it. We have completed our 2nd topic in math which was addition with regrouping along with rounding and estimating and tested on it. We have also finished math differentiation groups going over place value and tested again! So basically, we've finished and tested on many, many subjects. The kids brains should be full of knowledge!! The good news is that if their test score for math differentiation went up (improved at all) we celebrate that gain by eating lunch with the teacher!  Yeah!
