Morning Work- This week students will be introduced to a new website called Kid Blog. There will be a schedule in which each student has a morning each week to blog on the computers. The link to our blog is- http://kidblog.org/MrsSchaefersClass33/. This link is also on my website under "Our Class Websites". It is also on our blog in the left margin. Students will also be reading to self or working on their writing or words contract if they are not blogging. We are busy in the morning! :)
Math- This week we are beginning Unit 4 on dividing whole numbers and decimals. Keep practicing those basic multiplication and division facts! Try Math Magician!
Social Studies- We are continuing our lessons in chapter 3 on the Age of Exploration. There will be no social studies on Tuesday (field trip to Cahokia!) and Friday (half day of school).
Reading- We are continuing with our mini lessons on inferencing and working in small groups for guided reading. Students will be completing a "Book Exit Slip" this week on an independent book they have read so far this year. These exit slips will be displayed so other students can find recommendations. Students will complete a short inferencing assessment on Friday. Students should be able to explain what inferencing is and what formula we use to find an inference.

Writing- In writing we are completing our 1st published writing piece. Students' "books" are due on Thursday. They will have time in class to type their writing and put together their books but if they do not finish in class they should complete it at home. I am so excited for us to share our first published pieces!
Words Contract/Spelling Test- Students' words contracts are due this Friday. They will have a choice to take their spelling test on Thursday or Friday on spellingcity. Please make sure your student has ear buds to use for this test.
Cahokia- Tomorrow (Tuesday) we will be heading out on our 1st field trip! We are leaving at 9 and should be returning by 1:30. Your student should bring a packed lunch as we will be eating there outside. Your student should be dressed appropriately for walking (sneakers please).
Friday is a Half Day- Friday's dismissal will be at 11:50. Please make sure your student knows how he/she is going home.
Conferences- Conference sheets are being sent home today (tomorrow for LEAP students). Please return the bottom half as soon as possible.
Enjoy your week! :)
