Wow! We have been so busy that the blog has gotten away from me! Last week we had the opportunity to visit Schoenbrunn Village. It was an absolutely beautiful day as we learned about the early Moravian missionaries in this area. The students learned a great deal and earned some candy from Pastor Wallace. Thank you, Pastor Wallace! Pictures will be coming soon!
This week we are finishing up Number the Stars. The students are quite "bummed" that the novel is coming to an end. They have really enjoyed this novel and have done a great job comprehending, predicting, as well as writing poems about the characters in the novel. I look forward to seeing their favorite scenes on Friday! We will begin a new novel next week. I wonder which novel it will be!
We are working hard in math as we continue with multiplication, division, as well as measurement equations. The students hard work is paying off as you will see in their grades. I am so proud of them. We have a lot of fun as we practice our facts in class. I would encourage you to continue to practice the facts with the students at home. BigBrainz.com is a great website the students can use to reinforce these facts...and it is a game!
Midterm reports will be coming home on Friday. Please sign these are return them on Monday. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
The students have really stepped up to the plate the last couple of weeks, not only academically, but in their behavior as well. In fact, we completed our COMPLIMENT challenge and will have our party on Friday to celebrate! I am so proud of them! We will start spelling COMPLIMENT again. I wonder how soon we will have another party!?!?!?!? Stay tuned...
