Week 32

Our story this week is "The Puddle." This fiction story has a mix of realistic and make-believe parts. The sound for the week is that -ge and -dge both make the /j/ sound. The vocabulary is:

angry

okay

nearly

sorry

Math will be dealing with fractions and place value.

We had a great trip to the Forest Service building to see the mural. The weather cooperated this year so we had a great walk. If you haven't seen the mural, you should stop by to see it. Many thanks to all the parents who accompanied us. . . Irene Tilford, Melissa McNeill, Shannon Latham, Dale Sloan, Mary Ann Adair, John Rhis, Brittany Puzas, and Kimberly Merrill. A special thanks to Irene Tilford for providing our snack.

Spelling is going well. Everyone is where they need to be. They have been very good at keep to at least one list per week.

AR continues to be a big thing. They are going to break me. I have several that are close to passing 150 tests. The class is four short of 1500 tests passed.

Have a great week.

Math this week will be spent on fractions. We will be dividing whole parts into fractions, and comparing fractions.

We had a great trip to the Forest Service building to see the mural. The weather wasn't the greatest but the walk was short so no one was too uncomfortable. If you haven't seen the mural you really should stop by to see it. Mr. Aldrich isn't finished yet so it is a work in progress. He was there when we went, so we got a personal tour. . .especially if we couldn't find something. Many thanks to Geri Carthel, Eva Emord, David Padilla, and Mary Shellhorn for accompanying us. Special thanks to Kim Phillips for providing the snack we had before we headed home. I have pictures and will get them up soon.

Remember that Friday is an Early Release Day.

Have a great week!!
