Week of October 3, 2011

Hope everyone had a peaceful week-end!  It is hard to believe with are already into the month of October!
Everyone did a great job on the Math test last week.  I was very proud of the students' work.  This week we will work on place value, and big numbers.  We will also be working on the basic operations, especially with word problems.  Sounds like fun...
We are continuing our work on "Self Monitoring" in Language Arts but will also be focusing on the importance of text features and pre-reading of nonfiction text.  The class will also be sharing their version of the children's story of "The Secret Shortcut".
Students will have ten more words to work on in spelling, with a test on Friday.
We are continuing our study of living things in Science, and working on invertebrates this week.
Remember, there is Early Morning Band on Tuesday at 7:45.
The Zone Cross Country Meet is on Thursday, October 6.  Good luck to the athletes who have been working hard and showing great improvement each week.
Have a great week everyone!
