As the Month Turns

I was hoping to have a slide show up and running, on this site, but technical glitches are causing a delay. Stay tuned. Meanwhile... the children all brought books home this week from their reading groups. I hope you have had time to listen to them read to you. This extra practice will really accelerate their reading progress. Please send the books back the next day in the bags provided. Thank you for all the treasures you sent in for our Discovery Center. Logan's deer skull, and Paige's starfish were especially popular. This week I have various leaves for the kids to examine and identify. Everyone successfully logged on to the Everyday Math website and played a game or two. I will be sending home those passwords and your child can access this site at home as well. In writing the children chose a character from one of three versions of the Henny Penny story. Their choices were Henny Penny, Chicken Little, or Chicken Big. Chicken Big is a new version of this old story - he eats acorns rather than panicking when one falls on this head!
