I hope that this finds you keeping warm and toasty. WOW it is cold...and it looks like there will be a nice, warm, springy weekend ahead. Crazy weather...which means we need to do our best to keep ourselves healthy.
This week in reading we are studying bears, bats, and baseball. We are covering B as in Baseball. We will write a book or two. On Monday, we did sneak in a little talk of Groundhog's Day and do some fun writing center work on Groundhogs. But the rest of our week will be devoted to the letter b. If you have any books you want to send for us to share, please feel free. You are also welcome to come in and read one day...just let me know!
We will be continuing our work in Geometry during Math. We will finish up chapter 15 and get started on chapter 16 this week. We are going to push hard and get caught up, since we are a little behind the other classes.
I received a note/email or two about the Spelling tests. I understand that you are concerned. The students should be getting the hang of this...and I expected the first few tests to be a little harsh. Watch for some improvement, as the students are getting more and more accustom to these tests. These tests are listening as well as knowledge tests. If they are not doing both, they will not do as well as if they are. Just know that we work on this EVERYDAY in class, so they are practicing the material DAILY.
