Friday, Nov. 5

Today we took our spelling test (thanks so Sania's mom and Molly's mom!!), got our homework bindrs (thanks to Louis' mom!)  and had a birthday to celebrate (thanks to Darrielle's Grandma for the cupcakes!).

We also found time to read another legend and come to the conclusion that all legends teach us something about nature.  We also noticed that the stories can sometimes be emotional.  We will start writing our own legends next week.
In math we worked with making change and counting up to find the difference between what we paid and how much the item cost (ie- if you paid a dollar and the item cost 89 cents, count up from 89 untill you get to 100 to find the difference).  The homework this week will be on our new Unit.  Please pace the math homework over the week as there are a couple concepts that we won't be learning until Monday & Tuesday and I don't want the kids working on those pages over the weekend and get frustruated.
In Social Studies we learned the vocab. words "Core Democratic Values,"  and "Liberty."  Next week we will be learning "Life."

Reminders: Canned food drive starts next week and ends Nov. 19th.  Please send in what you can :)

PS- Sorry I didn't post yesterday! I had a sub in the PM and do not have internet access from home at the moment.  I did get a great report from the sub and the kids told me she was "nice" :)
