THANK YOU...for coming to learn about our room and your child's year on Wednesday evening. It was nice to meet all of you and share about our exciting year!

We had an awesome learning week in room 21!

Here are a few highlights of our week...

* Introduced Habit #1 of Happy Kids! Be sure to ask your child about being Proactive and an example of how they might have been Proactive this week.

* Took our first Caesar's English Test of the year! Look for graded tests to come home with your child on Monday.

* We are about half way through our first Book Club book of the year. Ask your son or daughter what book by author, Peg Kehret, they are reading.

* In our reading response journal we focused on basic story elements which included identifying characters and their traits, using the author's words to visualize the setting, identifying the problem in our story, and details that support the problem.

* Our social studies focused on basic geographic vocab words and being able to recall and locate the continents and oceans of the world.

* In grammar we reviewed nouns, verbs and adjectives. We will continue with the other five parts of speech next week.
