HW 10/29

Spelling Contract - the kids just have to make sure to write the words on the contract itself because I gave them time in class today to do this evening's assignment. 

Math:  distributive property page front and back

Study for ss - announcement - Test is Friday!  Enjoy extra studying time!!!!

See you tonight at Chick Fil A!!!!!!!!!!!  I will be selling calendars from 5:15-6:15!!!!!! 

Here is a throw back of Ms. Hoger and I from a few years ago!  (Look at how tiny the Michaelis boys are in the bottom corner!!)

Thank you for your patience while I was gone! I am so proud of how wonderful the children were!!!

As my way to say thank you, I brought back each child a rock from Israel as we just finished our study of rocks and minerals.  I also dated the rock and wrote "Israel" on it, just like Bud's grandfather did in "Bud, Not Buddy." 

I also brought back cans from Palestine to show the kids the Arabic writing on the cans as well as salt from the Dead Sea!  They loved it!!

Today we had the privilege to hear one of my Serafin alumna students share her beautiful writing with the class.  We were very impressed by Naomi's imagery and sensory details, among other fantastic writer's crafts that she included!  Kids start to fall in love with writing here!!! 

Our writing focus is, "Capture the Moment"  by describing the event to the reader rather than just telling them.  To practice, we conducted scientific research using the finest materials (Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids) to write to capture the moment!   ;)
