Week of October 19th 

10/14/2015

I hope that everyone had a wonderful long weekend and a nice few days off of school.  I spent Thursday and Friday at MCEL which is a leadership conference.  I also had six people from graduate school staying at my house to attend the conference, so we had a packed house!!  

Last week was a good, short week.  We presented our unit 1 inquiry projects and the videos are up under the "Student Work" tab.  The kids did a great job and I was very happy with their first presentations! We will start unit 2 next week.  We also had the chance to meet with our first grade buddies for the first time on Friday, and that was very fun.  We look forward to reading with them throughout the year!  

In reading this week we are focusing on how science helps us understand the natural world.  We will be reading chapter 3 of Science All Around and focusing on the skills of summarizing, analyzing idioms, cause and effect, and compound words. 

In writing we will finish up our Drippy stories and we will also learn about common and proper nouns, as well as irregular plural nouns. 

In math this week we will learn about line plots and then review our chapter 2 skills that meet our 3.MD.3 standard. We will take our ch. 2 test hopefully on Wednesday.  Then on Friday we will start multiplication!!! I am so excited to get started with multiplication and I think the kids will be too! On Friday we will learn about how multiplication shows numbers in equal groups. 

In social studies we are working on our Billings Brochures and in science this week we will start Project Lead the Way!  Our first unit is about flight.  We will begin this week learning about balanced and unbalanced forces and end the week learning about four different types of forces. 

Homework: reading log, picture graph practice, finish decorating Drippy (conference slips will come home in Tues. Folders)

    All About Me

    This school year will mark my sixth year of teaching and I must say I am so blessed to be a part of such a great community at Arrowhead school. I am excited to begin a new year with a wonderful group of kids!! I grew up in Helena and attended college in Bozeman, MT at MSU. Go Bobcats!  While there I obtained a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Reading.  In 2016 I received a masters degree in Education Leadership. Five years ago I married my high school sweetheart, Tymon. We also have a four year old adorable mini australian shepherd puppy, Molly. When I am not teaching I love to be outside enjoying hiking trails or taking in a sporting event.
