The kids had a great week!
We completed the district writing prompt and I am pleased to see all of the great growth in writing and conventions. After checking their writing prompts I can tell that we still need to work on using transition words in our writing.
In reading we are reading informational non-fiction books and working on a graphic organizer so that they are able to write a detailed paragraph about the big idea of the story.
In math we continue to work on geometry. The kids are doing a great job in Karate Math and are excelling on their levels.
Please remember that I will be gone all next week. I will be attending a national swim meet that my daughter has qualified for. Mrs. Snell will be here Monday - Thursday. On Friday the kids will have Mrs. Griffith. I am confidant that they will continue to be on their best behavior, like they always are.
