Hope you enjoyed your Labor Day weekend! The kids are doing great and working hard. This week in math we are finishing up the concept of rounding! The kids are "wowing" me with their understanding of it! Today we read a story called Yingtau's New Friend and took a comprehension test on it. We will also finish up our reports on an animal. I will give class time for this on Thursday, but if it is not finished in class, it will need to be done at home by Monday. Remember that it can be rewritten neatly or typed. In science, the children have been working on a reptile/amphibian work packet. These are due on Friday. This week begins our unit on Oklahoma! We started out today by finding Oklahoma on the globe using latitude and longitude as well as learning who Oklahoma shares its borders with. Tomorrow we will look at all the landforms in Oklahoma and then make a dough map carving out all those landforms. Don't forget to send 1 cup of flour mixed with 1/2 cup of salt in a ziplock bag to school tomorrow! This week begins enriched spelling. See the list of words at the bottom of this post. This is an optional activity in addition to regular spelling. I will give the words every Wednesday and the test every Friday. I count points for this spelling and reward every 10 points! Let me know if you have any questions about anything!
