First quarter progress reports and classwork are going home today. Be sure to look for them in your students backpack.
We are moving along as a class into the year. In Language Arts we are continuing to complete our daily language and vocabulary lessons. We are still working on spelling. Your students spelling words will be written in their agendas every Monday. And we are beginning our second drafts of our individual fall writing assignments. We have finished the 1st draft, and shared what we have so far with a class presentation. The work on the final draft will be started after we finish our 2nd draft.
In Mathematics we have started our fall "Going Bananas" multiplication timed excercies. As each math fact is completed the student will get to work towards a banana split, with all the trimmings.
In Science and Social Studies we are studying the land masses, continents, and the food web, respectivly. The year is already going by fast, and we are forgeing ahead toward the end of the first quarter.
