Today was a MAGNIFICENT Monday! We started off our morning with reading. We read a wonderful story about a boy named Ethan Zucker. Please ask your child to share this amazing story with you. We actually watched a video of Ethan and his mom as well!
In math this morning, we finished discussing lesson 2.9. I distributed the review which is due Wednesday. We will have our unit 2 test on Thursday. Please be sure to sign your child's review by Wednesday.
After math, we worked on writing a paragraph based on Ethan's powers. Students and their buddies worked together. There is a paragraph contest that I suggested each child enter, but it is not mandatory. Please have your child consider entering their paragraph!
Today's morning co-curricular was Engage. Then, after lunch we finished paragraphs and had a great classroom meeting. We talked about Scott Rigsby, (his name is linked to his website) another powerful person. We also talked about the final finisher who crossed the Ironman finish line at 17 hours 4 seconds. Four seconds too late... and I got sad like I always do when I think of her. Lastly, we had science. We continued investigating rivers and then discussed volcanoes and yes, Hawaii came up again! Remember, we'll need rocks for science on Wednesday.
Tomorrow will be our last day of reading testing so I will be out of the classroom. Although I missing seeing the entire class, it is very nice to spend individual time with each child. Please feel free to email me with any concerns.
Thank you for reading and have a fabulous evening!
