Happy Constitution Day!

We watched a very informative video today on the Constitution - ask your child about it!

We've really been working hard - not only academically, but as good citizens. As of this morning, our class has earned 20 Soaring with Pride stickers - WOW! It really shows how well they follow the rules and respect each other.

Here's what we've been doing and what we WILL be doing:

Language Arts: We're continuing to work with During Reading Strategies. This week we finished up with Questioning and Inferring - hope you enjoyed the homework! Next week we start with Synthesizing. That's when we "put it all together". While most of your children do this automatically when they read, it's nice to slow them down so they can THINK while they read.

Math: If your child is in my math class, we will continue working with numbers to 100. I was so proud of the timed addition tests! Some of these kids are definitely ready for subtraction!

Social Studies: In Social Studies we discussed rights vs. responsibilities and how people contribute to the common good of our society. Next we'll be looking at local, state, and national government.

Writing: Ideas for writing is still our focus.

Word Study: We'll be working with words that have different spellings for the /k/ sound at the end.

Remember that Friday is a day off for students.

Have a wonderful weekend!
