Today students worked hard on their "I Am Special" power points and most worked on putting their information in a word document and inserting a picture of their saint. These should be done by All Saints Day.
In reading students worked on homophones, proper nouns, story sequencing, and reference materials. It is always surprising and I guess my age is showing when I show them an almanac and most have never seen one before. I also need to explain that we no longer have cards for a card catalog, that it's all on-line. It's good for them to learn about those "old fashioned" things. :)
In math we continued to practice regrouping using tens and ones. Those needing manipulatives are encouraged to use them. I highly encourage the use of manilulatives until students don't need them anymore. It is different for all.
I did send out the link for parent conferences on sign up genius. Please look for it. If you did not receive the link, please email me and I will send it to you.

Today is the end of the 2nd quarter. I did go through student folders and sent home papers that we don't need anymore. Most of them were fun papers and do not need to be completed or returned.
Today was a busy day. Students partnered in math to practice regrouping. They did an awesome job peer tutoring. Students also gained greater understanding of the concept and they all learned patience.
Students went to Spanish in the morning.
Using the netbooks, students looked up information on a saint of their choice. Most were able to find some information. We will work on this on Monday. Students will use this information to create a power point about their saint.
Today was also PRIDE Day. The topic was poverty. Students were amazing at being able to relate to those in need and they were able to verbalize how we, at Bl. Pope John XXIII School truly help those in need.
You will be able to view report cards online on Wednesday afternoon.
Remember the Sock Drive begins on Monday.
