Monday, September 16th

Welcome back!!!  I am so happy to see everyone after a week off.

We started our day by getting new seats in the classroom and getting new class jobs.  We spent some time learning about our new Unit of Inquiry - How the world works.  Students put on their explorer caps and were asked to determine what objects were inside of their envelope without opening it.  It was a great way to talk about strategies, methods, purposes, and outcomes of exploration.

Students also enjoyed using their recorders in music.  If you have a recorder, please be sure to bring it to school on Mondays and Thursdays when we have Music.  You can also leave it in your numbered bin if you would like to.  If you purchased a recorder this school year, they have not arrived yet.  We are hoping that they will be here shortly.

We have a field trip next week.  Please be sure you sign and return your child's permission slip.  Also, if you are interested in being a chaperone next week, please send me an e-mail.

Students received their new spelling contracts.  This Friday, and every Friday unless specified, students will be given a test over their list of spelling words.  It is important that they practice them daily.

Homework: Read for 30 minutes, Spelling, Food chain sequencing

See you in the morning!
