Happy Friday!

We have had a great first week of school! You have delightful children and we are enjoying getting to know them.

Here is what we have accomplished today:

Math: We took another pretest. Wow do we have some math students. We will be starting in the book soon. Once we have an idea of where everyone is we will be ready to determine if we will have an accelerated group.

Science: We took a look at the first part of our brand new science books. We have a lot of things to cover this year in science!

Social Studies: We began to look at what we will cover this year in social studies. We will began chapter one on Monday.

English/Writing: We worked on an assignment in class on the different types of sentences. We also were to complete our rough draft of our pen pal letters.

Reading: In Mrs. D's class we worked on a paper on Puerto Rico. We read some together as a class and some as partners and also worked independently to complete the assignment. Most of the students finished this in class. If they did not then it was assigned as homework!
In Mr. H's class we read Earthquake Terror in our reading books pages 36-44. We were to answer questions 1,2 and 5 on page 46.

We hope that you have a great weekend. Enjoy some family time and we will be ready for our first full week on Monday!
