Another Monday Rolls Around!

What a busy day we had today! Box Tops Contest starts today! Be sure to send in all that you have at home before October 17th! They help us earn many great things for our school!

LA: Today was our usual Monday routine with a new spelling pre-test and new grammar and reading skills. This week we are focusing on spelling words that have consonant clusters. In grammar, we are working with singular and plural nouns, please try to incorporate these into discussions at home whenever you can! We also worked in our cursive handwriting books. It's amazing how beautiful our writing is when we sit flat in our chairs that are pushed in, books slanted and we take our time! In writing today, we started writing awesome poetry about our sketches from last Friday. They are doing an amazing job! We're really concentrating on word choice in our poems.

HW: Fluency and Flow along with assessments will be on Friday. Also...reading projects and AR tests are due by Friday. Check out the countdown at the top of the page!

Math: Today we graded all of our math mania pages and reviewed those skills from the first 7 lessons in unit 3. The kids did an outstanding job on those pages. We also worked more with number sentences and began to talk about the order of operations in math.

HW: Journal pages 65-67 and study link 3.8

Health: Today students worked on setting realistic goals and making mobiles with them. Many students forgot their hangers today! :(

HW: Finish assembling mobiles at home

Things to watch for in blue folders tonight:
Fall Festival information and sign up sheet
Max and Erma's fundraiser information for the PHM Educational Foundation
