It is the last full week of January. So far, the weather is still looking more like early spring than winter.
In Communication Arts we are reading, writing, and writing about poetry. We have discussed song lyrics being poetry set to music. We are still doing language, vocabulary, spelling, writing paragraphs, and Razkids.
In math we are covering time, including elapsed time.
The students continue to work to complete their daily assignments.

We are two weeks into the second semester and the weather is giving us spring fever. I noticed daffodils popping up in the WIS flower garden.
In communication arts we just finished a week of reading, and then summarizing, some of Aesop's fables. We continue to study our daily language review (DLR), vocabulary, spelling, and writing in our journals.
We are visiting the computer lab one to two times a week for Raz-kids. The students are enjoying progressing with their reading skills. As a reminder, Raz-kids can be accessed at home with an internet connection.
In math, we are continuing to study money and order of operation.
We are having a great year here at WIS.

Welcome back! It is the beginning of the New Year and the class is starting a new semester. We have some new projects we are going to be working on.
In Communication Arts, we are continuing with our daily language review, vocabulary, spelling, and paragraph writing skills. In addition, the students are enjoying Raz-kids reading online every Friday. Your students can access Raz-kids at home and make progress on their own. They know how to go to www.raz-kids.com, then enter labbotte in the teacher user name. From there they just log into their name. I encourage each student to advance at home as well as here in class.
In Math we are beginning to work on money and time. We are also beginning to work on Order of Operations.
We are all looking forward to the second half of the school year.
