Math- We are going to work on mastering multiplying and dividing 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's over the next couple weeks. I've listed two websites with great games for practice!
1 2 In addition, we are learning some awesome multiplication songs in class that can all be found on Mr. DeMaio's YouTube channel! Reading- In reading we will finish up comparing and contrasting texts. Students have done such great work with this so far and are really loving the Patrica Polacco books. Writing- We will learn about adverbs and how to use them in a sentence along with starting our informative writing. Students will be challenged to use all five senses in their writings. Science- Time for a shift from social studies! We are learning about Georgia's habitats. This is something that the students have been doing in science lab the past few weeks and can now bring that knowledge back to the classroom. Please make sure you are signing your student's reading log at the end of each week! Also remind them that they are supposed to do one spelling activity each night. Georgia Parent Survey Please note that the school climate surveys for the 2016-2017 school year are officially open, and will remain open through Friday, March 3, 2017. It is critical for all schools to get parents to participate in the surveys. The Georgia Parent Survey is also modeled after the student survey questions. Parents may complete the survey using their personal computer, smartphones or tablet. For parents that do not have access to the Internet, school administrators should consider scheduling dates and times to allow parents to complete the Georgia Parent Survey at school. All parents should be encouraged to participate in the Georgia Parent Survey because the data will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Individual data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to the public and will not be posted online. The URL address for the Georgia Parent Survey is posted below. http://apps.gadoe.org/schoolclimate/parents.nsf/Survey.xsp Due to excessive issues with Pokemon cards during the school day, I have told the students that they are not allowed to bring Pokemon cards to school for the rest of the week. Next week we can give it another try and see how it goes. If you have any questions please email me - [email protected] Thank you, Ms. Pellegirni

Math- We will continue learning more about fractions! We are going to focus on equivalent fractions and placing fractions on a number line. Pizza Fraction projects are due this Friday (1/20)! Students will present their projects to the class and solve the word problems that their peers created. The projects that have come in so far look great (and so yummy). Reading- Last week we started reading Wonder by R.J. Palacio to get the students engaged in learning about point of view. So far the students love the book! We will keep reading together and practice identifying POV. Writing- In writing we are talking about how to properly use commas in address, or in dialogue. We will have a quiz on Friday. Social Studies- We will keep learning about each branch of the government and what they do. Important Announcements: *This Thursday we will be having a special science lab that involves going outside! It looks like it may be wet outside so please send students with a jacket or rain coat. *Students have NEW spelling homework! Students should complete one of the activities from the Choice Board each night. A note from Foundation: Parents, The Spring semester is here and that means lots of fun events from Addison Foundation to keep your kids happy and the Science Lab going! Penny Wars runs January 17 - 27th with the final chance to take place at the Winter Wonderland Ball the evening of the 27th. Send your children in with pennies for their grade and silver and dollars to sabotage the other grades. Pennies are GOOD, the rest is BAD because they're what subtracts from that grade's pennies! The kids can drop them in the buckets each morning before school! They LOVE Penny Wars!! The first ever Winter Wonderland Ball for girls in grades K - 5 to dance the night away with their dad, grandpa, uncle, or favorite father figure is taking place January 27th from 6-9pm. The next teacher auction items are coming too! Bidding is now open - Monday, February 6th from 2:30 - 4 is the After School Art Class with Miss Stoddard! And taking place on Friday, February 10th from 6-8pm, a Girls' Night Out Shenanigans After School with Mrs. Hallmark!!

Thank you for supporting our Foundation's work to give us the Science Lab and other wonderful things! I hope everybody was able to relax and enjoy their break!
I am so excited to be back in the classroom with the students this week! It's a short week so here are the highlights of what we'll be doing: Math- We are starting on fractions! Students will be bringing home instructions for their pizza fractions project (and a pizza box donated by Papa Johns for the project) tomorrow. I am sending home the project now so that students who want to get a jump start may do so. Some students may not be quite ready to start yet since we are just diving into fractions. The project will be due January 17th. Writing- We are going to start on a writing piece about the heros in our lives. Students will have the option to submit this piece in a contest sponsered by East Cobb County Council. Social Studies- We will review the three branches of government and learn more about their responsibilities. This week we will also be talking about the goals that each student set for themselves at the beginning of the year and where they are in achieving those goals. The class will also work to make new goals for 2017! Homework- There will be no spelling log or reading homework this week. There will be math homework on Thursday. We're getting to that time of year when snow may decide to appear (possibly on Friday) so a green inclement weather forms are also being sent home tomorrow! PLEASE fill these out and send them back in with your child on Friday. I have attached a link the form online in case you would like to print it off at home- Inclement Weather Form |
