September 2, 2010

Students of the Month for the month of August are Hannah Burke and Mallory Ripley.  Way to go!

Scholastic Book Clubs has changed their on-line book orders.  I sent home a letter today which explains the process.  I believe you will register using your own user name and password then use the classroom code provided at the top of the letter.  I called to Scholastic once it was brought to my attention (Thanks Mara and her mom) and they walked me through it.  Sorry for the confusion.

I put the snack calendar on-line and a link to our classroom blog on my website.  I appreciate the snacks.  Emily, Praneeth, and Hannah B. have really brought some yummy treats.

Today in Science, we continued to study plants.  We looked at seeds.  Homework is to bring in a couple of leaves so we can classify them.  They can bring in seeds to share too!  I had collected some seeds out of my yard.  We talked about simple plants and looked at spores on a fern frond.  We looked at the parts of a seed using peanuts.  They opened them up, found the seedlings, and stored food.  They recorded their observations in their Science notebooks.

Mrs. Sharp visited us in Reading and watched us practicing our "Daily Five".  In my Math group we used place value blocks to help us learn about place value.

Picture Day is Tuesday!

Reading Log and Spelling are due on Tuesday.

I hope everyone has a great holiday week-end!

Mrs. Hawthorne :)
