This week we will be reading the story "Suki's Kimono". This is a story of a little girl who comes to American from Japan. We will be studying Japan and talking about comparing and contrasting our country with Japan. The students will be making Kimonos on Thursday for a Japanese party on Friday. Students who did not bring in a shirt or order a shirt will be assigned a project to be done at home and turned in on Friday. We will be having running records in reading groups and will not be bringing home books this week.
In math we are working on counting and making change from a dollar. Keep working on math facts at home. In English, we are looking at verbs. In writing, we will be finishing out biographies and out stories for the PBS Writing Contest.
Tuesday will be a field trip to see the Chattanooga Symphony Orchestra at North Cleveland Church of God. We are also collecting money for the "Do Something Challenge". The students are raising money to send music to schools still struggling from Hurricane Katrina, send toys to the patients at St. Jude's and helping the ASPCA. The winning team will be the team with the most money by weight. They will be awarded with a bowling trip in May.
Thank you for checking in on our blog. Have a great week.
