Friday, Oct. 1

Love this weather!  The students are certainly excited about Homecoming today!  Lots of blue in our classroom.  Jocelyn Sieh won the most blue in our room with 20 blue items on today.  Congratulations Jocelyn! 
The students are starting their dioramas for science.  They sketched out a picture of what it will look like and have written a rough draft of their paper.  I think these are going to be a great learning activity. 
In math they have been working on subtraction.  We did the basic count back using a number line which was really just a review.  Today they used unifix cubes to work with a partner to make doubles facts. 
I was really impressed with the spelling tests we took this week.  Thanks to all who helped their child prepare for these tests.  You will find the tests in the Friday folder.
Also in the Friday folder are 2 comprehension tests we took this week.  I may get the grammar assessment checked today but if not, it will come home next week.
Mrs. Faircloth has one more week of teaching all subject areas.  After next week, I will take over reading again.  She will continue with science and math.
Next week we will do some fire prevention activities and have an assembly on Thursday with the Reinbeck Fire Department.  They always do such a great job with the kids.
Wednesday is an early dismissal for inservice.  We will be working on reading with the Gladbrook teachers.  Students will be dismissed at 12:45.
