Happy Wednesday

Today we finally started our tour of the Northeast. Ask your child what they learned about the light houses & shoreline of West Quoddy Head, Maine and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Also, ask them what was wrong in Plymouth when the Pilgrims landed there. If they can tell you, write NE in the planner. More multiplication computation practice tonight. They have to practice facts anyway so may as well do computation too. Keyboarding program-great job today keeping those fingers on home row & or reaching to keys they needed to. Keep practicing at home those of you that are and hopefully those of you that haven't started at home yet will soon. Nightly reading-remember to read at least 30 min./night for 5 days/week and keep track on the calendar. 600 minutes are the minimum for this month. This is a big part of your reading grade. In Lead 21 today, we shared our idioms-they were great. We also worked on comprehension/questioning skills and for writing we wrote a letter to the captain of the ship that helped save the baluga whales in the story "Symphony of Whales". Tomorrow is Music and recorders and books are a MUST!!!! Have a great night.
