The Dolphins have been working hard!
It is exciting to see the growth that each student is making with spelling when we see their results from spellingcity.com and in their writing.
They wrote thank you letters to Chick- Fil-A and it was exciting to see the improvement with writing between the margins, using commas appropriately in a letter and using correct capitalization and punctuation.
The past couple of weeks we have been looking at fairy tales and fables and identifying the characteristics of both. We look forward to beginning folktales after the break and also begin practicing our reading fluency with readers' theater. If you are available and interested in coming in to help with managing a group while they practice their skits, please send an email. We look forward to celebrating our fluency and work with reading genres the last week of December. Parents will be invited to see our skits!
The children have been motived to pick up the speed with multiplication fluency by our daily strip tests. Congratulations to Jenny, for being the first dolphin to make it through the 12's! After the break we will begin focusing on geometry.
Almost every student remembered to bring home their government projects. We encourage the children to keep the projects to continue reviewing the information so that they can store it in their long term memories. Wednesday, November 30th, we will take our first test on an important American hero- Paul Revere.
We hope you all have a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving!
