Dear Families,
I hope you are all able to attend the Souplantation fundraiser this evening from 5-8pm. IA will receive 20% of the proceeds. I am unable to attend because I will be attending my daughter's open house. Also from now until December 31st we are doing a promotion with Fresh and Easy grocery stores. For every receipt with at least $20.00 of groceries purchased and presented to Fresh and Easy, IA receives $1. Any Fresh and Easy store can work for this!
This week in our classroom your children started work on yet another 20 spelling and high-frequency words. If you are interested in getting a list of these words to practice with your child at home, please stop by the classroom. We also continue to add to their vocabulary through the Wordly Wise program. We will be starting Lesson 5 this week and that means that we are one-quarter of the way through the program! Please encourage your child to go to wordlywise.com on their home computers in order to get some practice in at home. Students also continue to work on their fictional narratives. We start on the ending paragraph this week with revisions and then it's only the conclusion and they will be ready to type. One computer per every two students have finally arrived!
Students have been busy on their artistic book reports. The due date has been pushed back until Monday, the 15th. All students have had the opportunity to research their explorer or Native American tribe at school. At least a few students have started their rough drafts on their three paragraph reports. I'm hoping to have them finished by the end of next week, but would also like for students to gather their materials for their dioramas and have all materials in class by next Wednesday, the 17th. I will announce the date for our actual Museum on my next BLOG.
As always, if there any questions or concerns, please email me at kim@innovationsacademy.org.
