We missed you Reggie, and wow we are learning a lot about Olivia.  She has been our Top Banana this week.Today we had a busy day with learning.  We made sure to do our reading and some of us got to meet in groups and go over our stories.  We are continuing to learn about poetry, and it has been great to see their writing develop.  I am enjoying seeing what topics they come up with, and then describe it in a poem.  The students should be bring home their chapter book from the library to read to you.  It is called their Scholastic Reading Counts books.  They should read these at night, come to school with it on their reading log, and then they will take a test on the computer to build comprehension.  I am loving seeing them take tests, it is a fantastic way for them to see how their comprehension is going.  I hope they brought their book home?  Please ask them to read it at night.  In math we are still learning about fractions and we took a quick check on them.  Finally we ended our day with Native Americans and tracing a map of the regions.
