We hope you're feeling better! We've been hard at work today, and I wanted to give you a brief overview of what we've been doing. Please read on for more...

LANGUAGE: We reviewed the Wordly Wise Words for this week.  (Homework is parts A/B)

SPELLING WORDS:  Add these to your dictionary:  

always

especially

laughed

myself

whole

FALL FUN:  We finished the fall leaves we painted and completed a book recommendation form to attach to it.  I'll save this for you when you come back.  They'll be hanging in the window. :)

MATH:  We practiced measuring to the inch, half-inch, and quarter-inch.  The worksheet will be sent home.  We completed the worksheet instead of the pages in the workbook.  Same work- different layout.  We also practiced our timed subtraction for the first time.  Phew!  It was much harder than addition.

READING:  I demonstrated how to complete the job of Character Captain.  You can see the power point below.  You will need to read chapters 9 and 10 and select two characters from the section to discuss.  

YOu'll choose two characters to talk about.  For each one, you should select two descriptive words to describe how that person thinks, acts, or speaks during the two chapters.  For instance:

Brenna- Angry   Brenna was angry when she noticed the racing speedboat because it could potentially hurt a manatee.
