Our First Tuesday

We had a pretty steamy day today! There is a small issue with the air conditioning at Northpoint, so sending in an ice cold water bottle with your child is a great idea. It seems to be most bothersome after we get in from recess, are already sweating and can't cool down. Please plan accordingly with clothes choices! :0)

Language Arts:
We went over our grammar skills this morning-different types of sentences. Make sure you ask what the 4 types of sentences are and what kind of end punctuation they each require. We also went over a new procedure we will be doing each morning with DEAR time. This will be a Tues-Fri thing and the students are all expected to have a book they can get into immediately when we start. During this time, there are also a handful of students that are pulled out to get some extra practice on our reading skills.

HW: Fluency and Flow is due Friday. We will also be having our spelling test on Friday.

Math:
We learned about line segments, lines and rays today. Most of us learned how to take notes in math for the very first time.

HW: Math boxes 1.2 and Study Link 1.2

Health:
We learned about the 5 sense organs today. There will be a quiz over the parts of the eye, ear, nose, skin, and tongue on Thursday.

HW: Study for quiz on Thursday

Another great day! I hope everyone has cooled down!
