Good morning,

It's another cold start to our day.  Come in and get warm!  Please order your lunch, read the message and wash your hands.  Megan, Nathan and _Hudson__________ will share today.

A file photo of the International Space Station. A coolant leak in the U.S. segement of ISS forced astronauts to flee to the Russian module on Wednesday.This is a picture of the International Space Station.  We will be reading about this in our theme reader.  I made a text to world connection today as I heard about the space station in the news today.  Apparently, there is a leak on board so all of the astronauts get a day off while the leak is investigated.  Interesting, huh?

This morning is a bit of a catch up morning.  After you update your reading status, please work on the Dynamath activity on pages 8-9.  If that is done, please pass out some papers.  I look forward to everyone being caught up before we go to Music!

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Hello Chilly Children,

I hope you were dressed warm this morning as you waited for the bus.  My car thermometer said -3!  I don't often see that!  Come in, warm up and let's get today started!

Please order your lunch, wash your hands and read the message as normal.  Next, please put your library books on the cart.  After that, you should update your reading status.  Finally, please pick up your spelling folder and update your personal choice list.  You can even start filling in your spelling contract if you are efficient!

Today, we will learn a new reading strategy as well as finish our informational drafts.  It will be a productive day!  To start with though, _Nathan________, ___Megan ________ and _________ will share. 

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Happy Monday!

I am glad you came to school on this snow morning!  I hope you enjoyed your long weekend; the snow day on Friday was a fun surprise!  Because of that, we need to be extra efficient in our work this morning!

Please wash your hands, read the message and order your lunch!  Next, I'd like you to meet with a partner and do last week's spelling test.  Finally, please number your pretest for this week's spelling pretest.  If you finish all of that, you can steal a few minutes to read.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
