Monday November 1st

Good morning!

I hope you didn't keep your children out too late last night! (They do tell on you! Haha)  Sounds like all of the kids had a very exciting weekend.  They are very sluggish this morning but I hope it will pass by lunch time. 

In reading we worked some more with reading charts.  We talked about why charts are important and how they are a great way to convey information quickly.

In math we will be estimating with decimals.  Many of the students are still becoming flustered with decimals.  Please continue to work with them on this and help ease their uneasiness. The more they practice with decimals the more comfortable they will become. 

In social studies/writing this week we will be starting our state reports.  Each child will be assigned a state and will gather information and create a presentation for that state.  They will be given a rubric to follow.

Last week's spelling test will be given today.  I am also sending home this weeks list.  Take home task is do as always on Thursday.

Please remember that candy is to stay home.  My students are sweet enough with out it! :-) 

Book orders are due on November 12th.
