Mrs. Palanio's Classroom

What a great turn out for our Fall Family Math Night!  My station was the “Puff Mobile” station.  WOW!  Did we ever have a lot of girls build “Puff Mobiles.”  The top winner in the race was Kayley who took first place in the Puff Mobile Races.  Kayley is new to Arcadia and a member of our class.  Way to go Kayley and her co-builder, her dad.  Second place went to Elli’s sister Lily, a third grader and third place went to Natasha a fourth grader.  Way to go girls!  Adah won the Snickers in the estimating  jar with the correct estimation of 38.  Hope to see all of you in the Spring for our second “Family Math” Night.

FAMILY Math Tuesday.  This and much, much more!  Hot Dog Dinner at 5:30.  Math at 6:00.

Too many students struggled with the last two M4T tests.  We are going to try to work on the skills, before we continue.

NEW Reading HOMEWORK:  As students read, they are to be looking for 5 new and interesting words.  This is part of our “Expand Vocabulary” lessons.  Each child has a 4 X 7 note card to record their five new words.  Those wanting to achieve a four must do 10 new words.  Students must spell the word correctly and find a meaning for it that fits with how it is used in their story.
