Predictions</em> and <em>Summarizing</em>.  The students have also started writing Reading Responses to books that they have selected.  We are completing a writing response weekly for a book I have read aloud to the class.  In phonics this week we will work on hearing the first and last parts of words and blending them together (onsets and rimes).  In writing we are continuing to practice using the alphabet chart for sounds and the word wall for words we already know.  Children are working on real stories from their lives (narrative writing).  I have almost finished assessing all of the students for their reading level and will begin to work with guided reading groups this week.  The students will learn 2 final activities for reading workshop including <em>Listening</em> and <em>Word Work</em>.\r\n\r\nIn math this week we will learn all about the penny and play 2 games- Penny Plate and Penny Grab.  We will also learn about nickels and will play Penny Nickel Exchange.  It is helpful to have a set of coins at home for use while completing homework.  In science we will investigate the properties of liquids.  In art we will do leaf rubbings and use watercolors to create a

the children as we parade around the school.  Please have your <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">child</span></strong> bring their costume to school and the book that inspired the

I am looking forward to a very successful year and I know you are too. I have high expectations for your child, and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations.\r\n\r\nThis is my second year teaching 5<sup>th</sup> grade at Ray School.  I hold a bachelor’s degree in Dance and a Master’s degree in Education, both from Columbia College in Chicago, IL.  As a result, expect your child to have an experience this year that is both creative and academically challenging.\r\n\r\nUnlike the other fifth grade students this year, I will be your child’s teacher for all classroom subjects.  I feel this is a boon for your child, as well as for me, because it will foster a deeper relationship between us in the different subject areas.  I will get to really know your student as a writer, a reader, a historian, a scientist, and a mathematician, and therefore be able to support them so that they may grow as a learner.\r\n\r\nThe school day is never long enough, and as a result, homework is inevitable.     I will try to allow time in class for most work to be completed. If your child does not complete an assignment in class, he or she will be required to complete it at home. The way you can help is to ask your child every school day if schoolwork needs to be done, and if so, make sure your child completes the assignment.  In addition, to help your child stay organized, please check the homework assignment notebook nightly to check for homework assignments.\r\n\r\nIn addition, your child will be expected to read for 30 minutes every night of the week.  A Reading Log will be kept by your child for you to sign.  It will count towards 10% of the final reading grade and must be turned in every Monday morning.  I encourage you to read with your child!  It is a great opportunity to spend time together.\r\n\r\nFinally, I want you to know that one of my most important goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you. I am available most mornings to talk with you between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Please schedule a conference by contacting me via email:  agkrecik@cps.edu.\r\n\r\nSincerely,\r\n\r\nMs. Krecik','About me:','','publish','open','open','','about','','','2010-04-18 10:21:33','2010-04-18 15:21:33','',0,'',0,'page','',0),(3,159,'2009-10-18 20:30:44','2009-10-19 01:30:44','Dear Parents,\r\n\r\nThis week please make sure to send back the bottom portion of your child’s progress report signed.  If you requested a conference, I will be contacting you in the next few days to solidify a meet-up time, if one has not been set up already.  If you would still like to meet, please email me to set up an appointment.  My email address is <a href=\"mailto:agkrecik@cps.edu\">agkrecik@cps.edu</a>.\r\n\r\nThis week, students will be completing a beginning-of-the year benchmark assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Students will repeat this assessment later in the school year to chart their annual growth.  There is no school this Friday, October 23.  If you would like to place a Scholastic Book order, please do so by Thursday.\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong> </strong></p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><strong>Reminders:</strong></p>\r\n\r\nOur classroom is always in need of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, and paper towel.  Please contribute to our classroom when you can.\r\n\r\n<strong>Reading</strong><strong>: </strong>This week during Reader’s Workshop, students will be responsible for completing one letter to me about the book they are reading in their Reader’s journal.  Students should continue to work towards their 5 week AR goal.  AR is worth 10% of the overall reading grade.  In addition, as a class, we will begin a shared reading of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Maniac Magee</span> by Jerry Spinelli this week.\r\n\r\n<strong>Writing: </strong>Students are continuing to work on their rough drafts this week.  We will be discussing how to include sensory details in their writing.  Students will be expected to write at home in their Writer’s journals on Tuesday and Thursday evening.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Math: </strong>Homework:<strong> </strong>Study links 2.4, 2.5, 2.6.

I am looking forward to a very successful year and I know you are too. I have high expectations for your child, and I will do all that I can to help your child achieve those expectations.\n\nThis is my second year teaching 5<sup>th</sup> grade at Ray School.  I hold a bachelor’s degree in Dance and a Master’s degree in Education, both from Columbia College in Chicago, IL.  As a result, expect your child to have an experience this year that is both creative and academically challenging.\n\nUnlike the other fifth grade students this year, I will be your child’s teacher for all classroom subjects.  I feel this is a boon for your child, as well as for me, because it will foster a deeper relationship between us in the different subject areas.  I will get to really know your student as a writer, a reader, a historian, a scientist, and a mathematician, and therefore be able to support them so that they may grow as a learner.\n\nThe school day is never long enough, and as a result, homework is inevitable.   Math assignments will be the most common homework your child will have to complete at home.   I will try to allow time in class for most work to be completed. If your child does not complete an assignment in class, he or she will be required to complete it at home. The way you can help is to ask your child every school day if schoolwork needs to be done, and if so, make sure your child completes the assignment.  In addition, to help your child stay organized, please check the homework assignment notebook nightly to check for homework assignments.\n\nIn addition, your child will be expected to read for 30 minutes every night of the week.  A Reading Log will be kept by your child for you to sign.  It will count towards 10% of the final reading grade and must be turned in every Monday morning.  I encourage you to read with your child!  It is a great opportunity to spend time together.\n\nFinally, I want you to know that one of my most important goals this year is to keep the lines of communication open with you. I am available most mornings to talk with you between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Please schedule a conference by contacting me via email:  agkrecik@cps.edu.\n\nSincerely,\n\nMs. Krecik','About me:','','inherit','open','closed','','2-autosave','','','2010-04-18 10:20:49','2010-04-18 15:20:49','',2,'http://agkrecik.cuipblogs.net/?p=70',0,'revision','',0),(71,159,'2009-09-13 08:56:26','2009-09-13 13:56:26','This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from.
