I also wanted to let you know that I have created a website that shares all of the same information as the blog just in a different format. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to get in touch with me. I would like to let you know that we will be starting our first big project next week. This will be were we take two countries and compare them. This is a lot of work for the kids, but it will be so much fun for the kids. Please keep and eye out for the students work over the next few weeks here online so that you can see what they have done. 

September 7-11

This week is already half over and we just got started! This week we will continue our work on friendly letters during our writing period. The students are working on not only writing a friendly letter, but also responding to a friendly letter.Book orders will be coming home this week. Please keep an eye out for those. They will be due back next Friday.The Habit we are working on this week is habit 3: Put first things first. this habit teaches the students that there is an order to what we do in our lives. This is easy to see in school, we do our work first then we play. This habit is one that some students can struggle with so please talk to your student about who they can show this habit and remind them if you see them forgetting. This week we are in Unit 1 Week 3 for our reading program. This week we are talking about how a pet can be an important friend. The students have some amazing thoughts and ideas about this topic. It is so much fun seeing the students become excited about what we are learning. If you have any questions please let me know. Lets all have a wonderful week.
