Reading response tonight looks a little different. Each student brought home a small green piece of construction paper. They are to write a 5-7 sentence summary of their book. I will be keeping these to utilize at conferences.

Math night is tomorrow! There isn't a program, you are just able to go from classroom to classroom learning math games. At the end of the evening each child will get a goody bag with math manipulatives in it. 6:30-7:30 is the time.

Web quest: We began a tall tale webquest today. It is tying technology in with our reading unit. The kids are doing a great job and really learning a lot at the same time. They will have to be able to use many skills during this two day activity. (alphabetizing, opening a document, reading comprehension, accessing a web page...)

Book orders due Friday. If you 'd like to order online, follow the directions below.
Click on this link, click on "Don't have a user name" and create one. Our user code is GYXWH. Select the books that you want. The order will still come to the school and your child will still get their books when the other kids do! Each online order gives our classroom $3 to spend on books!
