Insult to Injury...

Would you believe a student wore a Patriots sweatshirt to class today!?!?! Ahhhh!

Luckily our day today was far more productive and less painful than the Redskins' day yesterday...

In math, we went over the Unit 1 review packet in preparation for tomorrow's assessment. For homework students should go over the packet again.

After math, we identified nouns in the morning message. Then we searched in text for words with the /oe/ spelling pattern.

Following an extended art class (they worked with clay), lunch and recess, we continued reading Wishes, Kisses and Pigs. Ask your child about this story...Louise makes a wish on a shooting star and turns her brother into a pig. Today, she wished on a shooting star to turn a pig into a human and she turned a DIFFERENT pig (not her brother) into a woman...it's a good book!

Then students continued looking for /oe/ words and had a chance to finish any unfinished work while I pulled some students to work on reading flashcards. Then, in preparation for our Walking Field Trip of Damascus next Tuesday, we began watching a video program called Econ and Me. Today's segment covered resources and scarcity...here's a link (I think) to give some info...let me know if it is helpful...

Today the children are bringing home a permission slip for next week's field trip. They are also bringing home their last graded writing piece for this marking period. Please review it, sign it and return it to school tomorrow.

Remember...the Halloween parade and party is Wednesday at 2:15...and there is no school for students on Thursday!
