Thank you-Thank you!!

Yes, great job on your homework Thursday night, parents.  The students as well as myself enjoyed hearing all about how each of them got their names.  Fun-fun and some great family traditions being passed down from generation to generation.
PTA movie night-if you & your child went to the PTA movie on Friday night, please write it on a piece of paper and send it to school with your child for a $200 bonus.  I love to support our wonderful PTA.
First full week ahead of us:  yes, this will be our first full week and I am excited to get into our routine and actually be able to get in all our subjects more than just once or twice/week.
In math this week, we are going to continue with place value of numbers into the millions as well as computation practice and patterning as our problem solving skill.  Along with place value will be comparing them and putting them in order from least to greatest.
Lead 21-we are starting our Lead 21 unit on Wednesday.  Students took their group placement test and now we are going to do the computer generated SRI test on Tuesday.
For now in reading, we started our new Read-a-Loud called:  "The Journey of Fallen Rock".  It is a great book about 2 brothers who have a friendly competition with one another to see who will be the next chief of their indian village.  We are going to use it not only for CC meetings, but also to learn our reading strategies.  This week we are going to work on predictions & summarizing.
Language is taking us to nouns and verbs for parts of speech and then all the spelling rules for plural nouns.
Writing will be tied into Science as we are doing Hurricanes in Science and then going to integrate our writing there.
In Social Studies, we are going to map the continents, oceans, hemispheres, latitudes, longitudes.
Montana History-continuing with our state symbols.
As you can see we will have a busy week.
Remember the Open House on Tuesday, September 9th from 5:30-6:30.  Hope to see all or most of you there.
HE/PE tomorrow.
Have a great night.
