Say Cheese!

Everyone looked their finest yet! Picture day is one of my favorites...everyone comes in dressed up, hair combed and looking good! Here's what I heard on the way back to our room after pictures..."Whew, at least I got that done before lunch where I had a chance to spill! My mom would have been mad!" I love the honesty of children!

We had a bit of a crazy day because of our picture taking schedule. We had a very short LA period, then came back to homeroom from 9-11, off to math from 11-lunch and then again in homeroom from 12:45 to the end of the day. Even with our mixed up times, we worked hard and got through a lot!

LA: We reviewed complete and simple subjects, complete and simple predicates, using context clues to help us decode and find meaning of big, unfamiliar words and we also practiced our skills in prompt attacks.

HW: Fluency and flow is due Friday. The spelling test will also be given on Friday.

Math: Today we worked with compasses again. We also learned about circles. We practiced making concentric circles and figuring out the diameter, radius and circumference as well.

HW: There is no homework. Please remember if you have a compass at home, you might want to bring it in!

Health: Students were given back their quizzes. They need to be signed tonight. We also jumped into chapter 1 and learning about traits and what makes everyone special. A special thanks to the Drye family for sending in the skull model so we could closely check out the bones and sense organs we've been discussing. The kids had a great time checking it out!

HW: Students need to read pages 18-21 and answer 1-2 on page 21. Don't forget to get quizzes signed.

We had a special guest, Mrs. Slater, come in today. Mrs. Slater is our Youth Service Bureau Counselor here at Northpoint. She came in to give us strategies on problem solving conflicts with friends and family. We now have a problem solving chart in our room that can be used to help aide in the problem solving process.

Don't forget to keep selling those items for the fund-raiser. It sounds like we are off to a fantastic start. We even have someone that has sold 25 items! Wow...way to go!
