Week of September 28th...

We are doing so much this week! Reviewing for our first 9 week assessment in math. We are also having a great time during reading groups.  This week we are learning:

Math: Review/ UPS Check, Graphs, 10 frames, etc...
Reading: Guided Reading and story elements
Writing: Shared writing, 6 traits writing (ideas), Handwriting
Spelling Words: at, is, me
S.S. - authority figures
Science: Properties of matter

We are learning what matter is and how it takes up space.  We are also learning that mass is the weight of matter.  I brought Harry to school on Monday, our class pet.  She is a South American Tarantula.  She is bringing many new discussions to class. No need to worry.  Her cage is safe and she cannot produce new babies.  She will not be coming home. She is a great addition to our class. 

Please do not forget to send your 5 white hanes t-shirts! Hope you all have a Wonderful week!  Don't forget to use your State Fair tickets. I hear the Fried Butter is Awesome and calorie packing!!!!  hehehehe  We plan on using our tickets this weekend.
