Upcoming

Hey there!  So much going on this week! Below you will find a schedule for this week along with important information. 

Fall Conferences

The parent-teacher conference schedule has been released. Please sign up here. The password is digger. Gold Rush Conference Nights are Thursday 9/27 and Thursday 10/6. As mentioned earlier, you can sign up for alternative times here.  If none of these work, I completely understand and am happy to email you thoughts and information in lieu of a face-to-face.

Digger Dash - 9/20

The GRE annual Digger Dash will be this Thursday. We will be racing from 10:50-11:35. As always, you are invited to come cheer us on as we race. While our race time is still in the morning, it could be very hot by the time we race (provided the rain doesn't decide to show up on Thursday). We are asking students to bring in their own labeled water bottles; PTO will not be providing water this year in order to save money on cups so it can be spent elsewhere. We will be bringing our water bottles outside with us and Parent Volunteers will be setting up a table to house those water bottles. We will resume our normal school day after Digger Dash is over. 

No School this Friday, September 21. Teacher's have an inservice day. 

Also, thank you so much for all who have expressed your congratulations on my upcoming wedding.  20 more days!!  Some have also been curious about any time off I will be taking.  I will have a substitute  for only that Friday before Fall Break: October 5th.

I hope you have a great week and, as always, feel free to email me at any time!

Math: We have been learning the difference of factors and multiples.  Also we have been working on number patterns to figure out which number fits all the rules.  That helps us with our math vocabulary.

Reading: In reading we have been learning to jot our thinking on a sticky note, but the sticky note has to be a good detailed sticky note about how you are feeling, questions, metaphors, and responses. We also have been learning about the story plot and the different types of conflict.

Writing: We have been working on an article on 10 questions about ourselves.  We make the questions and we answer them and make it an article about someone interviewing you.    

Social Studies: We have been learning about the 5 themes about geography.

Assessments:  We have been doing a lots of tests these past few weeks.  One of them was called iReady we did math and reading in that test.  Also we did a multiplication test in five minutes and I think that helped us with our multiplication facts.
