Week two was a hot one but lots of productive time!  We were treated with popsicles and ice cream to help keep us cool.

Students are doing a great job of adjusting to classroom expectations and routines.  Next week we will pick up the pace. Spelling words will be in our folders on the first day of the week and the test is given the last day of the week.  These words need to be practiced at home.

Please take advantage of reviewing lesson plans on the blog for daily lessons. Remember these plans are a guide and the pace of the week is dictated by the understanding of the students and unexpected interruptions. 

State reports:  Students have been talking about state reports.  I am very excited to hear that they have started their research.  Students will save information on their thumb drives and as we work through expectations begin to piece their project together.  Tri-fold boards will be provided at school. I will not expect students to cite resources.  This will happen next year.

We made models of cells this week and enjoyed our water painting project.  No school on Monday so the activity will begin again on Sept. 3rd!

Please save salt containers when you empty them.  We will need them for an art project in October. Box Tops can be sent to school any time too!!!
