Happy Monday! Congratulations to Emmitt for helping Sr. Zamoff with Monday Town Meeting. He spoke beautiful Spanish. We also had a busy Relay for Life week. Our chain was so long. Thank-you for sending in coins to build our chain. The Kick Off was great and the Relay was so much fun.

In Math, we are still making polygons. This time, we used straw parts and pipe cleaners. We also did floor math and practiced Fact Triangles, In and Out Box and Number Collections. Danny from the Middle Division came and helped us practice money and coin combinations.

 In Readers workshop, we are reviewing fluency and expression before we return to nonfiction ocean animal reading. In Writer's Workshop, we have completed our Craft of Revision Unit and our published pieces are in the hall later this week for preview. Please help your child with spelling. If they ask, please tell them the correct spelling. We are no longer relying on invented spelling. They now know enough sight words and vowel rules to determine appropriate or correct spelling. In Science, we are beginning our ocean unit. This week we be a general introduction and overview.
Have a great week. We will!
