SCHOOL ATTIRE NEEDED!!!

Teasley families, do you have extra pants/shorts/skirts, socks, or new underwear that would fit our youngest students?  There are multiple times during the week when our younger students have "accidents" and need a change of clothes.  It is most helpful when parents pack extra clothes in their child's bookbag.  If a child has no extra clothes, the child is sent to the clinic for clean underwear and pants.  (If your child wears Teasley items home, please wash and return them soon.)

We are running very low on small items!  If you have gently worn socks or pants/shorts/skirts (standard school attire, please! khaki or blue or black) or you would be willing to buy a package of small underwear, please send your donations to our school nurse, Pam McNatt.  Contact Ms. McNatt if you have any questions at pam.mcnatt@cobbk12.org.

Thank you very much!

CHATTER FOR THIS WEEK

THE BONUS WORD FOR NEXT WEEK IS: March

FUN FACTS FOR NEXT WEEK: + 9

 YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE READING THEIR ACCELERATED READER BOOKS NIGHTLY!  Nightly reading is a part of their homework.  Please read to your child and listen to them read nightly!  REMEMBER YOUR CHILD'S AR GOAL FOR FEBRUARY IS TO PASS 10 QUIZZES WITH A 70% OR ABOVE! That's at least two quizzes a week.  Let me know how I can help you help your child accomplish this goal. 

FIRST IN MATH: Be sure to have your child log on to www.firstinmath.com and login using their initials and "tiger" password.  There are lots of fun games that strengthen the kids' math skills.  Hope to see some different players of the week next week!

FRACTIONS ASSESSMENT:  Today we took a fractions assessment, please look at your child's assessment and review any questions they missed so that they will be able to give the questions on the final test correct.

MOVIE MATH: For a few weeks the students have been taking 3 minute tests trying to earn entrance into a movie and treats to go along with the movie.  The more problems they get right, the more treats they get.  THE QUIZ IS THE SAME EVERY WEEK so they should be able to study those facts every wee and memorize them so that they can quickly solve them in 3 minutes.  Please pracitce this with them as it is taking our class a LONG time to increase our scores.

THIS WEEK IN OUR CLASS We continued learning blends, this week we have learned about br.  In our writing mini-lessons we focused on Proper nouns vs. pronouns vs. nouns, next week we will tackle verbs.  We learned about how fractions are a part of a whole and all parts of a fraction have to be the same size and shape. We have been learning about presidents and why wecelebrate President's Day.  Our theme for the week is "Every student learns differently, not on the same day or in the same way."

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD: Which presidents do we honor on President's Day?  What is a fraction?  What is the difference between a noun, pronoun, and Proper noun?  Name one of the three words that we talked about today that have the blend br in the middle of them.  What is YOUR favorite way to learn?

CHATHAM MART is our classroom store where students can spend the money they earn in class.  I am hoping that the students will get good practice with making money amounts, calculating change, figuring out how much more they need for an item, and saving to get items they can't afford yet.  We need "Cashiers" to help every Friday at Chatham Mart from 1:30-2:00.  If you are interested please let me know. 

SKILLS TUTOR: In your child's folder shold be some information about myskillstutor.com, a new program we are using at Teasley.  They log-in using their student ID (number on their black Media Center folder), password: cobb and site ID: teasley01.  I have put some assignments covering skills we have learned or will be learning on the site for the students to complete.  If they finish all of the assignments they can explore the site themselves!

TALENT SHOW:  We will be practicing sining the song that our class will perform at the Talent Show this Spring right before dismissal.  I am looking for ideas on what the kids will wear or what they will be doing during the song.  Please comment below with your suggestions.  Download Glee- Pure Imagination with Lyrics (HQ) Glee Cast Version

If you have extra boxes please send them in for those who do not have one.

Valentines:         Attached is our current class list.  I would ask that your child address one to every child in the class to spare any hard feelings.

 These items are due Tuesday, February 14^th.  If you would like to help with crafts on Tuesday let me know.
