Mrs. Barlow’s Class Please view our daily blog for information on student learning and upcoming events. 

I learned that we is a noun.  We went on a noun scavenger hunt.  A noun is a person, place, or thing.  Nouns are in all of our sentences.

We have new spelling words in our planner and on the blog.  You can play games on the blog to practice your words.  We will have a test on Friday.

We will have EARLY RELEASE on Wednesday at 11:30 am.

Please continue to work on counting collections of coins.

I learned how much quarters are worth.  I learned what it looked like and what it’s attributes are on the quarter.
~Danica~

We are learning about how much each coin is worth and their attributes.  In their planner they have a quick question to answer about counting coins.

We also learned about what makes a good story.  Ask them the first two parts of a good story and what they mean!  We want to start adding these elements in our own stories that we are writing.

The White Oak Education Foundation is hosting the Monster Truck Rally THIS COMING SATURDAY, September 13th!  It will be at the Lonestar Speedway in Kilgore, Texas.  Your student came home with one child’s free ticket.  Adult tickets are $25 if bought in advance and $30 at the gate.  Gates open at 5:00 pm!  We hope to see you there.  This is a great way to support your child’s school and teachers!  Thank you in advance and we hope you are able to come and enjoy the show!

I learned a new math strategy.  I can use the place value to help me.

Please don’t forget about the Parent/Teacher Orientation tomorrow night.  I will have things to share they the students have completed and a gift for you from your child.  Thank you for supporting us here at school!

Thank you for being an awesome CHAMP today!

Alli learned…
I learned how to visualize what I am reading and write so that others can visualize what I am writing.

Please look at the orange note in their folders.  Thank you for listening to them read each night.  I am testing and they will get a book more on their level when I get through with my testing.

Thank you for being a CHAMP!

Abby learned how to log the 5 senses to help her be a better writer.  We went to the playground and listed the 5 senses to describe things on the playground.  We will use this to write sentences about our playground.

The students are learning to write sentences that will paint a picture for the reader.  We learned and applied our understanding of senses to help us.

We will have a Parent Orientation on September 9th from 6:00 pm to 7:15 pm.  Please join us to learn about the things that your child will be learning in school this year.

Sensational Students:  Alli and Collin

Addison learned how to play the Tens Go Fish game in math today.  You have to find all the different ways to make the sum of 10.

Samantha and Colt
I know we have so many Champs in the room that I will have two new ones tomorrow!

The students are bringing home their first book to read and they will need to get their reading log initialed by you.  They need to read each night for 20 minutes.  This will help them with their fluency.  I would like for them to come back the next day and write something about their book.  As we learn different comprehension strategies they will answer questions based on their reading.  Thank you for helping your child each night!
