Monday

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is October. We will add up the students days of reading for those who will get the pizza award. We can't do it till next week, but we will let you know. This morning we sorted and reviewed the spelling words. The students had to do one column in cursive. Then we went to the typing lab. Students are struggling to remember to keep their hands in home position, but once they do, their speed increases.

In math we added longer numbers, the students did just fine with it. Then, we played jacks. Many of our students struggle with hand-writing. Jacks and marbles are two games that help with actual eye hand coordination. While some of the class is playing, other students are at the table with me working on their handwriting. Then in social studies we reviewed our counties song. Finally we are learning America the Beautiful for our patriotic song. We reviewed that and what the words actually mean. In reading we are finishing the story, Sarah Plain and Tall We read part of this story in our reading book. Now the students can find what is happening.
