Conferences

I just wanted to thank each and every one of you who came to conferences or scheduled one for a later time.  It is really nice to get to know my student's families.  I really enjoy all of my classes so it was really great to express what a good job I think you all are doing! 

I want to apologise if anyone had to wait a long time to visit with us yesterday.  With this new format it was a challenge to try to think of a way to fit everyone in.  Apparently the format for yesterday's conferences wasn't ideal, so we are brainstorming ways to schedule all the conferences for all students next year, but still fit it into two nights. 

Have a great weekend! 
Mrs. E. 

Catching Compliments!

We have been collecting compliments throughout the year and so far we have had 27.  The compliments are for great behavior.  Tomorrow we will have a popcorn party/movie to celebrate our good work!  Great job class, keep it up!!

I look forward to visiting with all the families!

Here is a question that you may want to comment on....

When you read, what is your favorite strategy for remembering what you are reading? 

Please leave a comment!  :)

Reading 5: Remember your comic strip is due tomorrow. 
It's a winter wonderland out there!  I just got an email that they are going to start making snow at Giant's Ridge soon.  They are hoping to be open the day after Thanksgiving!  I am excited to go skiing this year. 

Have a nice evening,
Mrs. Engman

Just a little question....

If you follow me on Twitter, (@kengman2142) you can see the question that I posted, but if you don't, take a look here. 

What is the difference between perimeter and area?  If you can answer this correctly, come to see me and tell me the answer and I'll give you a prize!!

Collecting Data

Teamwork!

Becoming Map Makers

map making

What we did today in science was measuring our playground to make maps of it. It was very fun. We got to measure all of the equipment using yards or meters, and it took alot of teamwork to do it. The hardest thing to measure was the slide because one person had to get up on the slide and one person had to stand on the ground and hold the stick while the other person had to keep track of the length.

For homework we have math page 111 1-25 and we have spelling week 2 packet
Reading Grade 5: Because of Winn-Dixie Comic Book Page
Reading Grade 4: Guided Reading Assignments or Pirate Writing story
Reading Grade 6: Finish missing homework, work on rough draft of Author's Tea story

We had a good day today.  I look forward to visiting with you at conferences tomorrow!  There will be no times scheduled, just stop by and visit when you can between 3:30 and 7:00.  If you need to schedule another time, please contact me.  Email works the best, or you can call. :)

Have a great night!
Mrs. E.
