We have a famous person in our class.

Alexis went on trip with her family and met a famous person.  Her mom sent me a picture and I have added it on my blog.  Please scroll down and you will see, our famous person.  Alexis, I can not wait to hear about this exciting event that took place in your life.

Top Banana this week is Jayden and I know we have had so much going on, I can not wait to hear all about you.  He has been a great help lining us up and taking attendance.  The students are loving our weather unit and are enjoying learning about clouds.  We are starting our geometry unit in math and boy are they learning a lot.  Please ask them to share.  We are focusing on facts and opinions in fiction and non-fiction texts to build comprehension.  Please help them by asking them to model this strategy.

We had a great day today and we made it through all activities I had planned.  We did have some extremely tired students.  they really seemed to love coming back to school and other times wishing they were home.  We are working on reading comprehension with non-fiction texts.  They will be coming home with some texts to practice at home and questions to answer.  We will be working on Geometry in math and we are working on review skills which they still need practice with.  The areas giving my class trouble is time to the minute and fractions of equal parts.  We will begin our lesson in science for Earth and Space.  I am sad to report that Jailen did not get the chance to discuss his poster we just seemed to not be able to get me on time keeper track.
