Become Your Dream

Hi Class-

I'm sitting with Ms. Rodriguez at a Cosi. I wanted to touch base with you guys because I just got an e-mail that reminded me of you.

A woman named Kaycee, who came to visit several times this year and last, sent out an e-mail with a picture she took while walking home last night. We will spend some time talking about in class on Monday, but I wanted to throw it up on the blog for you to look at this weekend.

I also wanted to touch base with you about your grades. Ms. Miranda and I submitted our grades to Mr. DeCastro last night. So many of you got high 80s and 90s...a true demonstration of your commitment to being the success that lives in our classroom. Comparing these grades to the ones you got only 6 months ago is very impressive. We can NOT wait to share your successes with your parents and guardians at parent/teacher conferences.

Getting back to business:
-9 steps this weekend ( 2 hours and 15 minutes of reading)
-Newsblasts (both sides) www.timeforkids.com is a great resource. The articles are written between 4-6th grade levels. Please write in complete sentences.
-Math reflection on the fire hydrant problem

We'll be taking a predictive state ela test on Monday. And, the top 5 are getting a trip to the upper east side...where we'll have some cold stone! I think I might be more excited than you!! Think about your flavors in advance...Birthday Cake Remix is my absolute favorite!! http://www.coldstonecreamery.com/

xoxo
Ms. S and (Ms. R too)
