We are already half way done with the first quarter!
Reading: This week we learned about theme. I read several books and we discussed what the theme could be for each of the stories.
The students also continued working on their edmodo. I am going to have them work on putting more details in their answers. They also need to be restating the question when answering. Remember you can check their edmodo from home, just have your student sign on for you.
The students had their first latin/greek test. Overall they did great! They will receive their new words on Monday.
Don't forget to have your student study for their spelling test. The next test is on Thursday 9/15.
Writing: The students continued with their ant writing and going through the writing process.
Cursive: We have learned all the lowercase letters and are now working on the capital letters.
Grammar: We learned about adjectives this week. Next week we will review nouns, pronouns, plural nouns and adjectives.
Projects: The students were partnered up for their catapult projects. Some students have a partner from our class and some have a partner from Mrs. WindRiver's class. It's always fun when we can mix up the two classes! The partners then researched, planned, sketched and are now building a prototype of their catapult. I am very impressed with what they have done so far!
