Hello March!!!

I have had some computer issues that are almost resolved so I apologize for being behind in the blogging world.  I hope to have all issues resolved by the end of this week and I will get pictures up and running by next weekend.  I have lots of catch up to do!!!

In Reading, we will focus on the letter “f” as in “frog.”  We will talk about frog facts and even learn all about the life cycle of a frog.  Be sure to ask your children to recall some frog facts for you.  They always have interesting facts that I sure didn’t know! :)

Word Wall Words:  called, just, where, more, know {The students will have a word wall test on Friday of this week.  They will need to recall all words for this nine weeks.  Words can be found in their take home folder.

In Language, we will focus on rule 12 ~ A contraction is a short way to write two words.  Some examples are:  he’s = he is, she’s = she is, it’s = it is  We will continue identifying contractions in our DOL sentences by underlining them. 

In Math, we are in the middle of Ch 10, Graphing.  We will test this week so look for a review sheet to come home the night before the test.  We only have two more chapters to go before we finish GO Math, so hang in there parents!  The students have done well with a new curriculum that I have had to adjust to myself.  FYI ~ I will be attending a short meeting tomorrow with other Blount math teachers to observe a demo lesson given by a GO Math Representative.  I should arrive back at the school by 10:00 but a sub has been secured for the short time I will be away.  No worries!
