Mr. Madden's Class - Harmony Team

Students have earned another special treat and have chosen  Crazy Hair Day for tomorrow, January 26th .  I will have some safe green and gold hair spray paint if they want to participate and don't have crazy hair resources at home. Progress reports will be in backpacks tomorrow - January 26th. If you have any questions or would like to discuss anything regarding your child's progress please let me know and we can set up a time to talk. This month we explored skulls with the awesome Nearby Nature volunteers and kids were enthralled for over an hour!  Here is a folder with some Nearby Nature news if you are interested in talking about this with your child. Please make sure to send your child in with appropriate snow and outdoor gear for this time of year.  Kids need winter boots, snow pants, hats, mittens and jackets.  

We are starting a new science unit and I'm including a parent letter in student's Friday folder along with a phases of the moon recording sheet.  You can easily google websites that will show the moon if there is cloud cover. Please make sure to send student with enough snack as many students are running out and asking me for food in the afternoon. I've just completed another round of reading assessments and am psyched to report that everyone is growing like crazy!! To continue this trend please make sure kids are reading each and every night! You can help them by "doing something" at the end of each book or chapter: review what was learned in the book, summarize, reread the favorite page, ask questions about the text...something is better than nothing.  I'm trying to get kids to read each night and then think about the reading.
