Monday

Today students had their vision and hearing checked. We also worked on commas with more than three nouns. Students also worked on combining sentences to make shorter ones and not repeat words. In addition, they completed their Eric Carle collages and the paragraphs to go with them. They will be writing them in the Book Writer app. During Atrium time students that stayed back worked on peer editing and they also did some science.
In math, students corrected math pages and practiced regrouping on another page.

I sent home "Book Talk" directions. Your child should only pick 1 project, not one from each section.
Also, the book they choose should be appropriate for them and not too easy or one they have already read.

I also sent home a list of spelling words your child needs to know how to spell in their daily writing by the end of the year. These words will show up on spelling tests and the dictation sentences. The frequently misspelled words will probably be repeated as spelling words throughout the year.

I also sent home Scholastic book order forms and a coupon for a free book with purchase. Book Orders will be due on Oct. 17.

Remember no school this Friday, the 10 or next Monday, the 13.
