of new ideas to make our classroom and Berg Elementary successful.

I will still be checking student work and I will be available through

Some updates have been made to our text message notification system

(School Messenger). If you think you should be receiving text message

notifications from Newburg R-II Schools and are not, simply text "yes"

to 67587. You should receive a reply acknowledging your message. If you

do not receive a reply, notify the school (tech@newburg.k12.mo.us, kdelong@newburg.k12.mo.us or debarnes@newburg.k12.mo.us) that your

phone number is missing from our messaging system.

Things to remember:

Please send a snack with your student daily.

Reading:

No spelling test this week! We will be taking some reading assessments

to help me better assist each student with meeting their reading goals.  

For our morning reading assignments, we now have choices. That means

your student gets to choose which article they read from a list of

options. This week we are learning about the ocean, bugs and ants,

birds that don’t fly, whales, and a few other things.

Our entire class has reached 200% of our A.R. Goal for first quarter,

so we will be having a little party with our High School reading pals

this week.

Writing:

Our writing project this week will be a book report.   

Math:

We are learning how to tell time, and starting to learn measuring

skills. Of course, we are always working on addition, subtraction

and place value. We have seen some great improvements recently.

Please contact me anytime you have a question or a concern!

                                       Thank you and have a great week,

Mr. Clark
