Well, we are busy and motivated already. I encouraged the students to set goals for the second trimester in Writing. Some of the re-occurring themes discussed were standardized spelling, neatness, longer stories, more details and staying focused during our writing time. We will also be setting reading goals and goals for Math this week. Try to figure out a goal that they can achieve at home to work towards. Set up a plan on steps for them to reach their goal. I recommend working on one goal at a time.
The Gift Drive began today. Please refer to the red family letter sent home last week.
I have a very ambitious parent who set up a portrait gallery of all the class pictures taken thus far. Please look at it and see the fine job our resident photographer has done. Thank-you Scott!
All of the first trimester report cards must be signed and returned to school. Our next report cards, for second trimester will be distributed in February following our conference day.
We have begun studying the solar system, and did a really fun project in the computer lab today with Mrs. Baralt. It was a great introduction to our unit.
Our new robust vocabulary words are: continue, doubt, devour, examine, transform, astonishing.
