Friday

This morning, after our spelling and reading tests, students started working on their writing. They are learning to add more information to their paragraphs, which is not as easy as it sounds. They are also working on their grammar, spelling and handwriting skills. After recess we reviewed rounding. Students were instructed to take their paper home. Please look at it and see if they need more help. We worked on equivalent fractions in class. Students struggled in following the instructions to write the numbers on the number line showing how many fractional parts were in each section. Once they followed that instruction, it was much easier for them to complete the assignment.

Next week is Red Ribbon week. We will be teaching the students the joy of staying away from addicting substances. Monday is mismatch hair day, Tuesday is twin, or triplet or . . . day, Wednesday is wacky hair day, Thursday is hat day and Friday is red shirt day. Please help your child participate in this activity and more importantly, talk to them at home about the need to stay free from addicting substances. Share with them how difficult it is to stop and how much control of their lives, their money and their freedom people lose by becoming addicted. Thanks for all you do.
