Happy Friday!!

Where did the week go? We had another great, busy week by learning lots of new things and getting lots accomplished. Highlights of the week were: making idioms, learning about endangered animals and what we can do to take care of our Earth, learning how to debate, working hard on multiplication algorithms, playing recorders and learning our 1st song, and enjoying time with our buddies while helping them with their stoplight writing cards, and them teaching us a mystery number math today which they were so excited about. Ask your child what their favorite part of the week was and if they tell you, put it in the planner. Goals for the upcoming week are: starting some measurement/time in math and taking a test on 2 & 3 digit multiplication x 1 digit along with 2 by 2. In Social Studies, we will finish our tour of the NE and taking our states & capitals test on Thursday. In Lead 21, we will assess for week 3 and then start our research/inquiry projects on Monday. Students will be assigned an endangered animal in which they will research to find some facts and to why it is endangered and how it can be repopulated. Research will be done here on computers and then on Monday night students will be asked to print off some pictures for their project at home so more on this on Monday's blog. Then at the end of the week, we will finish Unit 2 by reading Selection 4 which is about how to protect & save the Earth. Students will make a web of ways to protect the world along with details/evidence of how to and then they will do a paragraph writing project to share all they learned and then illustrate it for a completed project. In Language, we will be learning about linking & irregular verbs. Unit 11 spelling list words. Look at that cool dude, Dylan, our student of the week. He had lots of fun things to share. We learned he loves football, Tiger Woods, Social Studies and that he has set the record of 48 touchdowns in Mighty Mights football. YAYYYY-maybe he will play for the Bobcats someday!! Have a great weekend.
