We have had a great week with Team Moss! Be sure to read the blog for a lot of important information about our learning and activities occurring in our classroom.
eReaders
Mrs. McKinzie came in this week to talk with us about eReader options.
- Epic
- At school, students have access to Epic. This is a free service for students at school as the subscription is funded by the district. If you would like to subscribe at home, the cost is $8 per month, but there is currently a sale for 2 months for $5.
- https://www.getepic.com/pages/fallsale
- Sora
- Students can access Sora from school and from home through the Portal. Books on Sora have to be "checked out." They learned today how to know if the book is available.
- We talked with the students about only "checking out" books they plan to read. They learned how to "Read a Sample" so they can preview a book before checking it out (borrow). If they are interested, they can then check it out, if they are not interested, they can find another book.
Jackets and Sweatshirts
- Please send your child to school with a light jacket or sweatshirt for recess. It is definitely chilly in the morning. We had kids in short sleeves this morning that were not enjoying recess as much as they could have because they were cold.
Headphones
- Please check with your students if they need headphones. Some students are saying they are broken or lost. They need them in media, as well as when they are using laptops in the classroom.
Bird Day
- Bird Day is on Thursday, October 10.
- We will be outside all morning. Please make sure they are dressed appropriately for the weather. The current forecast is lows in the lower 50's and highs in the lower 70's. More than likely it will be middle 50's so they will probably be most comfortable in pants with a sweatshirt or jacket. They will also want comfortable shoes or boots for walking.
- If your student ordered a lunch from the cafeteria, we will send them down that morning to get their lunch.
- If your student is bringing a lunch from home, it needs to all be disposable as we will not be bringing anything back to school.
- We will try to have snack before we go to Bird Day, if not, we will have snack once we return.
Chicken BBQ Auction Items
- We are collecting money to purchase a gift card to be sold at the Chicken BBQ Auction. If you would like to donate a few dollars towards our gift card, please send it in by Wednesday, October 9. This will give us time to vote on the gift card location and purchase it.
- Also, if you have a hidden talent or you're "famous" for baking/crafting and would like to donate items to the auction, please email RBEBBQAUCTION@gmail.com by next Wednesday to let them know what you would like to donate.
Homework Bingo
- We got to eat with another group of kids today who got Homework Bingos. We even have a few students who have already gotten more than one Bingo.
- As a reminder, Homework Bingo is not required, it is just a fun way to practice skills from school and also be helpful and kind to others.
Friday Folders
- RBE Eat Out at Jersey Mike's: October 7-13 using the coupons attached to the flyer
- RBE gets $2 for every coupon used.
- Fundations Parent Letter
- We started Unit 4 this week in Fundations. The parent letter is in the Friday folder. Again, students are not expected or required to do these sheets. If they choose to do for Homework Bingo, they can, but you do not have to send them back to school
- Unit 2 Math HomeLinks
- As with the Fundations sheets, the math HomeLinks are a resource. If they want to use it for Homework Bingo or practice, they can, but they do not need to be sent back to school.
- Unit 3 Math Family Letter
- Our next math unit covers additional strategies for solving basic facts. This is just an introduction letter for the unit.
Important Upcoming Events
- We will be going to Bird Day on Thursday.
- Students need to bring a lunch (unless they ordered a lunch from school). The lunch needs to be in all disposable containers as we will not be bringing anything back to school.
- The temperatures are going to be middle to upper 50's during our time outside. Please make sure your student is dressed appropriately. The park is shaded so it can be chilly. Also, we will be walking around, please make sure they are wearing comfortable shoes. If they want to wear boots for the field trip, they can do so.
- October 7-13: RBE Eat Out at Jersey Mike's
- October 19: Chicken BBQ
- October 30: Fall Harvest Party at 1:45 p.m.
Next Week's Learning
Math
- We will be wrapping up Unit 2 next week. This unit covers addition strategies. In your student's Friday folder are some practice sheets if you want some additional practice.
- We will take our pretest for Unit 3 next Friday. We will also be reflecting on our goals from Unit 2 and setting new goals for Unit 3 in math. Unit 3 covers subtraction strategies and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Reading
- We will be starting Unit 2 in reading next week. The first 2 weeks of Unit 2 cover expository text. The students will be learning about text features and how they help in expository text. We will be also identifying the main idea and details from expository text also.
Writing
- Students will have an opportunity next week to use iPads to create an electronic version of their published realistic fiction. Once they have created their electronic version, we will send home QR codes.
Science
- Next week, we will be setting away from plants for a week to prepare for Bird Day. Students will be identifying the types of beak and how it determines what type of foods they eat.
- We will be comparing the habitat of birds to other animals and how the habitat help the animals survive.
Fundations
- We will continue working on adding suffixes to words next week. We focus on how to spell with the suffixes as well as how the suffix changes the meaning of the word.
- Our trick words for next week are sure, use, used, where and wear. Please practice these words at home with your students.
DR WILLIAMS CURED 7 YEARS AUTISM
ReplyDeleteI am sharing this testimony for my daughter who suffered autism for 7 years. I am doing this, because I was her mother and caregiver during her dark days and am very happy to share it so that others can be helped through DR WILLIAMS HERBAL MEDICINE. It was a tough a battle for her; I was not actually the one who hard autism, but bearing the burden makes me understand what parents whose children and love with autism go through.
Lesia now 19 and was diagnosed with autism at the age of twelve, for seven years, she fought against her diagnosis. I must admit it was never easy for us as a family; we had to constantly watch her, and answer questions that we couldn’t explain. On several occasions, she asked if she will ever stop having speech delay and get well like her school mates and be the best swimmer she dreamt of becoming. She was a very happy child; and had a ‘normal’ childhood and there was no suggestion that she would later on develop autism.
She refused to accept defeat and fought autism. She religiously kept to her medications in spite of their side effects. We all wanted a cure, so that she can chase her dream and live a normal life like every other child. But the more she takes these medications, the more her school grade drop. She couldn’t concentrate and we noticed that her memory was being severely adversely affected. Each time we went back to the hospital, her medicines were changed to a different one. Seems like, each change of drug brings about change in side effects. After about 6 years on Abilify , Geodon , and other medicines, it seemed the autism started to increase in frequency. I had to make effort to reduce her medicines with plans to eventually stop it all. We found an alternative treatment in homeopathy, which was better than her English drugs. Gradually, I reduced her drugs, and her autism were no longer as frequent as it was as when she was on conventional drugs.
With our little breakthrough with homeopathy treatment, we made further search for natural cure. Fortunately we saw testimonies about herbal medicines which cure autism. We saw a lot of claims though, contacted them and didn’t get a useful reply. Lucky for us, we finally got a reply from Doctor Williams, he directed us to his blog where we saw a lot of information about his herbal medicine . Without further delay I made a purchase for her, I switched her over to it. We had great breakthrough, that in 3 weeks, her autism reduced. After 1 months as Doctor Williams promised , all autism symptoms stopped. It was like a miracle for us. since all this days now Lesia became autism free. Her story is quite lengthy, I hope it also help someone out there.for more information you can email Dr Williams on drwilliams098675@gmail.com
