Upcoming...
I hope everyone had a great time at the Picnic. I know I did. :) Thanks to all that gave for our donor's choose we were funded for a 2nd iPad. The students will take their STAR reading and math test this week in the computer lab. Please be sure to talk to them about the importance of this test. Remember if you ever have any questions/concerns I'm an email away. Also, this Friday is Spirt day. Your child can wear their Spalding shirt and jeans.

1st week
Thank you so much for sending me
this group of sweet, respectful, and hard-working student. I have to say this
has been my smoothest 1st week of school EVER!!!!
We started working on Democracy and the Branches of Government this week. There is a great youtube rap that helps the kids remember (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt5K4ZK0ILY&list=PLNyOgK6CH0HUaPHfCRtD6nfCCmhmwU2wh&index=1 ).
In Reading, we started reading the book, "Because of Winn-Dixie". The kids have seemed to enjoy the beginning of the book. Next week we will also begin our Fairy Tale, Folktale, and Fable sections. The kids are supposed to be able to find the moral of the stories.
The All-Stars just finished their first major writing assignment. They wrote about what they did this summer. They began with brainstorming, then a rough draft, onto editing, and then their final copies were published. Next week, I will have some of them begin to type up their work and save it to an online portfolio.
Math we reviewed place value. We will start rounding sometime next week. They are focused on their xtramath practice and the growth I have already seen on there is wonderful. Don't forget if you were here last year your child should still have access to ixl.
Wish list:
Also, I have a couple projects posted on Donor's choose. If you could help me out by passing along my site to anyone you know that may be interested in donating I would forever be grateful. It is a tax write-off. http://www.donorschoose.org/project/iteach-theres-no-app-for-that/1230113/?verify=-563203851#/project/iteach-theres-no-app-for-that/1230113/?verify=-563203851&rf=page-siteshare-2014-08-project-teacher_1505347
