Ms. Jazmin & Ms. Marion
Week of February 8 , 2016
A Note from Ms. Jazmin:
This past week was interesting being that I was out Wednesday for a training on combining the historic figures that are part of our standards with economics lessons. It was very helpful and I intend to use some of the resources within the next couple of weeks. I was also out Thursday while my eldest daughter Louisa worked through a stomach virus, and I was able to return to school Friday, even though I had reschedule all Thursday and Friday conferences thinking I would be out both days with her, just in time for the crazy Valentine's Day festivities and energy. We were also able to make Chinese dumplings Monday, at that was quite the hit! It was a chopped up week to say the least.
Friday 19- POSTPONED- Ms. Lynn has obligations in New Orleans that are keeping her there a bit longer.
North America studies kick-off with a Mardi Gras lesson with New Orleans native Ms. Lynn (we'll also be cooking a King Cake this week in the classroom)
Friday 26 Donuts with Dads! Donuts with Dads Sign Up and Information
We have received many postcards from throughout North America, and other continents as well. we will keep those for future studies. Please keep them coming! The map of North America has arrived and we have begun putting up the postcards!

As we approach end of year assessments, GMAS is in seven weeks for 3rd grade and above and MAP and SRI will be around the same time, I ask that students practice and review on Compass Learning as much as their schedule permits; the main subject being math, but also the reading and language areas are helpful. Follow this link for login information: Compass Learning.The four weeks prior to testing time, please keep an eye out for additional paper practice and review that I will be sending home. Just like in the past, it is not required, but highly suggested as it helps prepare your child. The more they feel prepared, the less anxiety they are likely to experience during the test. If they are completeing the work, feel free to send it in so I can help where needed.

Upcoming HEALTHY snack weeks for 26 students: We do have a low level peanut allergy in the classroom, so we prefer peanut free snacks so that the student may also participate in snack with the class.
Some suggestions for snack are: precut fruit (apples, grapes, bananas cut in half, oranges, etc.), precut vegetables with hummus for dipping, cheese and crackers, granola bars or chewies, trail mix, applesauce, hummus and crackers, yogurt or Gogurt, graham crackers… The purpose of snack is to provide a nutritious energy booster when the students need it. Please keep in mind the nutritional value when choosing a snack.
