    If you choose to order books as gifts, just send me an email. I can keep a secret! When the books arrive, you can pick up in the office. Just a reminder, you can easily order online from scholastic, for any age children.Books make great gifts! Just remember to enter our class code PR482. We sure enjoy earning those free books to grow our classroom library!

    The STAR Reading Report shows the growth this year in reading based on this assessment. The best way for any child to improve their reading skills is to read!  Please make sure your child is reading the 20-30 required minutes daily.

      We will start Unit 5 in math on Monday. There are some students who still need to be reviewing their multiplication facts. We really want to be quick at multiplying!

     Please sign up to follow our blog. It is so important to stay informed! kwagner5.blogspot.com. Also, if anyone would like to donate disinfectant wipes, that would be appreciated. We are running out of them. I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy some family time! I am grateful for this wonderful bunch of students I get to see every day!

                                               Have a blessed Thanksgiving,

                                                         Mrs. Wagner

• We are finishing up our science unit on land forms. Vocab quiz on Monday. It was great to explore stream tables, erosion, and maps. On Tuesday, our next rotation for middle school starts. Our class moves to Mrs. Marquette's room for ELA.
• Tuesday is unit 4 math test. PLEASE continue to review multiplication facts. It really helps, as we do long division.
• No spelling due to the short week.
• Continue to read 20-30 minutes a night to hit our reading goals of 40 books this year. 
• We are finishing up our narrative writing unit by writing a memoir. It is exciting to see these writers developing!
