Normal 5-Day Week, Yay!!!!!!!!
Here are some things to look forward to this week:
Monday-Finish MAP Assessments on the computers, and finish the Science Balloon Investigation (ask your child what a variable is).
Tuesday-Trading Places! I will switch places with Mrs. Tannyhill across the hall for Science/S.S. time. She will teach our class a Social Studies lesson about why we say the pledge of allegiance and I will do the Science Balloon Investigation with her class.
Wednesday-Scientific Method Song: ask your child about it :)
Thursday-This is a nationally recognized day called Constitution Day, so legally we have to do something about/with the constitution. Mrs. Tannyhill's class & our class are going to discuss the importance & purpose of the constitution & what it means to be an American, then each student will paint a US flag & add words from magazines that describe the constitution or what it means to be an American to them.
Thursday is also the first day we are going to meet with our buddy classroom-Mrs. Regier's second graders. Be sure to ask your child about his/her buddy.
Friday-We will watch CNN Student News to discuss current events-feel free to watch as well so you can discuss this with your child.
In Math we are still working with decimal place value, word form, expanded form, comparing decimals, and explaining the relationships between numbers.
Below are a few links if you would like to work with your child on any of these skills.

In Writing Workshop, the students are working on stories that I will help them refine over the next couple of weeks.
In Reading Workshop, the students are focusing on being aware of their thoughts while they read & then sharing & identifying them as predictions, questions, connections, visualizations, or opinions.
