Just a couple of notes for today.
Your student got a new spelling list today. They will have the final spelling test on Friday. Remember, you can access Spellingcity.com, search for "Whitney Cowgill", and access "week 3" spelling words. The kids really enjoy the games they can play to learn their spelling words. On the plus side, this website is free for them to use!
Your student does not have any math homework tonight! We had a review day today to go over the last couple of lessons. This was an important time for them to practice what they have learned and clear up any confusion they may have.
I split the students up in groups of 4 for a social studies project. They read a section out of the book and had to "teach" the rest of the class what their section was about. They had visuals to show everyone and had a description to go along with it. They took so much pride in this project and wanted to make sure that they gave good information to their peers. We asked questions and gave praise. I was so impressed with how they handled their responsibility in this project. They totally rocked it!
The students should be reading at least 20 minutes each night at home. We are working hard to meet our A.R. goal!
Thank you!

--P.S. Please, please, please let me know what you think about our classroom blog. Parent input is so important. This is something I will continue to use if it is a useful tool for you at home.
