What another great week in Mrs. Graff's room!
Although this was a short week, there has been a lot going on in Room 110! The students have been busy working on their Persuasive Paragraph and I would have to say, they have worked very hard and so diligently. I am so proud of them for all their hard work and their drive to build their writing stamina. As I am reading through their first drafts and revision, I am excited for what their essays will be like.Another big change this week is our implementation of cooperative learning table teams. Not only will this look differently for our students but our classroom looks a little different as well [it's a bit more colorful now]. We really want to help create a community of learners that are supportive, engaging, and interactive. In Room 110, we strive to be exemplary of the FISH philosophy in our relationships with one another and with others. We long to see our students being there for one another, making each others' day, choosing good attitudes, and having fun while they learn [play]. As a class, we brainstormed some possible jobs that each table team would have. Collectively, we decided which jobs were most important. We are still in the process of choosing jobs as well as creating expectations for each of the jobs. Mrs. Graff and I are both excited to see the students engaging and enjoying classroom life together. We hope you have an awesome FOUR day weekend and we will see you all Monday!
Announcements:
We will be starting WKCE testing on Tuesday, October, 30th, 2012.
WKCE
Federal
law requires all public school children in grades 4 and 5 to participate in
statewide tests in Reading and Mathematics.
Fourth grade students will also be taking tests in Science, Social
Studies, Language Arts, and Writing. These tests are called the Wisconsin
Knowledge and Concepts Examination-Criterion Referenced Tests (WKCE-CRT).
Mitchell will be giving these tests from October 22-November 19. Specific
testing dates and times are listed below. Parents can contribute to their
child’s success by ensuring your child gets adequate rest and has a good
breakfast every day in order to concentrate and be able to think critically.
Finally, encourage your child to do his/her best. Thank you for your support!
