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

Book Orders will be due on Thursday, February 5, 2015.  I will be out on Friday.

Valentine Party note will be sent out this week.  Please check your child’s folder for information and the names of the students in our class.

Reading ~ We will be reviewing prefixes and learning about suffixes to help develop our vocabulary.  We will discuss root words and the suffix that we can add to the end of the word.  The suffix will change the meaning of the word.

Spelling ~ New Words:  must, because, does, part, even
Review Words:  your, their, how, ,many, people, these, through, much, also, of, a, to, is, are, as, they, this, not, all, there, their, many, some, so, words, know, good

They may need to use endings with these words such as:  -er, -ed, -ing
These are the same words from last week.  We will have our test on Thursday of this week.

Writing ~  We will use technology and drawings to develop the story elements of a fairy tale.  The students will need to use detail to visualize the setting, characters, character traits, problem, and solution.  We will then use these drawings to create a developed fairy tale.  

Math ~ We will continue to practice subtraction with regrouping in story problem situations.  We will also work on 2 digit and 3 digit subtraction with regrouping.  The students will learn to check their answers by reviewing and using addition with regrouping.

My students have helped me blog about our learning from the first day of school!  Now they are blogging on their own!  If they haven’t shared this with you, ask them to show you on our class blog.  This is a safe, but fun way for them to write about their learning, their life, and share their stories!  Once they post something it sends me an email.  I approve the information that they want to post.  It gives me a chance to also conference with them about their writing.  I then can approve their post for their classmates to enjoy.  These posts are secured in our classroom and the child’s parents.  I am so impressed by what they have posted so far and how they are learning to comment about other student’s posts.  You can be a part of your child’s blog posts, too! I am sure they would love for you to comment about their learning!  I will be sending home instructions soon!

Our class won the BOX TOP award last time with all your generous help.  Please send any that you have to school!  They will be having a February incentive!  Thanks for supporting our school!
