Twenty-Seventh Day

Two students were brave and ready enough to take on seminar today. We've been concentrating on initial consonant blends with 'l' this week (cl-, sl-, etc.). We listened to a Puerto Rican story about a naughty boy and his pig and analyzed that for story structure. We used Along Came Toto as a model for descriptive language and tried our hand at some as well.

You should find our Topic 4 test results in backpacks along with some student's unsatisfactory notes. Please sign and return to indicate you received the notice. Conferences will be scheduled the week of the 24th of October. There were a few students who were just barely borderline in a subject or two so I sent a notice as simply a 'head's up." Again, your child needs to know nothing about the contents of the unsatisfactory notice at this point. We can keep the particulars between the teacher and the parent.

In science we put are hands on and used our senses with various samples of solids to observe properties (vocabulary) including temperature.
