We wanted to let you know that Mrs. Olson, our wonderful paraprofessional, will be out for the next few weeks. Based on the reaction of the kids, we know she will truly be missed during this time, but we will have a substitute taking her place while she is out.
Paragraph Writing Homework
Just a reminder that we have been assigning a new paragraph writing assignment. All of the students had a chance to practice this in school the week prior to us assigning this as homework. We assigned this last week and will be assigning it again this week and for the near future.
Just so that parents are aware, students will have a part of the writing process to complete each night (they may do more than one part in a night) along with a final copy that needs to be turned in on Friday. We have posted a link of Google Classroom for students to type their final copy. If the internet is not available students can write their final draft on lined paper.
Along with the paragraph packet, students will receive a note that tells what they have shown that they are capable of in class on a variety of assignments. Most students also have a goal that they will need to focus on while completing their homework.
On Monday, any student that did not edit their final copy based on their goal and/or edit their work for what they have shown they are capable of will need to fix this for homework on Monday and return to school (or submit with changes) for Tuesday. This will be in addition to what they need to complete for this week’s paragraphing homework.
Our purpose for this is to hold the students accountable for their learning. If they have shown that they are capable of a skill we are expecting that they will show this in all of their written work. Also, when we set goals, we are looking for the students to focus on and work to achieve those goals to help improve their writing.

Math Workshop
We spent a lot of time looking at angles last week. We have learned that circles measure 360 degrees. The kids practiced measuring angles within a circle. They had to use what they know about the measurement of an entire circle to find the measurements of another angle.
We will be getting some more practice with thinking about degrees early this week. The kid will get to use what they have learned with Mr. Quinn in gym to practice 180’s and 360’s.
Valentine’s Day
On Wednesday, February 14th the kids will have a chance to exchange Valentine cards. I am attaching the link for the names of the kids in our class. We will be sending home a paper copy of the list with the students on Monday.
Have a great week!
