Thoughts on Thursday the 11th

As I am winding down and getting ready to call it a day, I would just like to say a few things about the week thus far.  We have been working hard on retelling and summarizing stories.  Today we took a look at what we remembered from the Little Red Hen.  Everyone was able to not only tell me something about the story but they were able to use details from the story and tell me what happened in the correct order.  We will constantly be reviewing this topic throughout the year along with identifying the main idea of a book.  Our shapes discussion has gone really well.  It has been super easy for everyone.  Today all I had to do is ask a couple of questions and the kiddos came up with the answers.  We have worked on squares, rectangles, triangles and circles.  These shapes are what will be assessed on this semester's report card.  If you are wondering what they know about these shapes ask them about edges and vertices and how many each shape has and what the difference is between a rectangle and a square.  Before I finish this post i would like to say that today's spelling test was the best one yet!  A huge majority of the class got an A+ or only missed one.

Just a reminder that the Scholastic Book order is due and to be watching the memos coming home with an opportunity to help out in the classroom with the upcoming fall party.

Also, be sure to root on the Cardinals as they make another run in the playoffs!!
