Week of October 17th

First, I apologize for this being posted late!!

This is the last week of the 9 weeks and report cards go out next week.  Almost all of the grades are put in, but I am still taking a few this week.

I sent a note home Monday (on hot pink paper) regarding the advances in technology within the classroom.  We got a SMART Board (an interactive board designed for students) and have started using Clickers.  When using the Clickers (a multiple choice test) you will receive a progress report type of paper rather than the test itself.

Reading
This week we are reading Turtle's Race with Beaver.  The reading and vocabulary tests will be Thursday.  We are also talking about sequencing.  Feel free to give your child some examples and have them sequence the events. 

Spelling
This weeks words revolve around -er, -ir, -ur.  Please make sure to study the spelling words with your child.  The test will be Friday!
