Good afternoon!

We had a great day back to school today.  The children began the day copying down their new weekly spelling words and working in their spelling books.  During language they worked on special sounds, vowel sounds and rhyming words.  The students also practiced their cursive.  During math today we worked on tens and ones using block manipulatives.  In our IB unit of inquiry we started our new unit.  The central idea for this unit is 'Living things are affected by climate and weather'.  Today we brainstormed as a class what we already knew about climate and weather and listed some things we hope to learn about climate and weather.  The students also matched pictures to the season they belong to.  This was a fun way to get started in this exciting unit.  They also went to drama, and P.E today.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, and Letters and Sounds pages 20 - 21.

Important information:  Please help your children to remember to bring their agendas, home folders and spelling books back and forth with them everyday.  These are important items that we need both at home and at school.
