Monday, December 3rd

It is hard to believe it is already December!!!  We started this morning by writing about how pumpkins grow in our journals.  Then, we learned our phonics pattern for this week (str, spr, thr).  We introduced the spelling words and completed a word sort.  We corrected two sentences of DLP and talked about informational paragraphs.  We learned that Months of the Year are proper nouns and should always be capitalized.  In Social Studies, we learned about service workers in our community.  We also discussed the word "tax".  We watched a video clip including goods and services along with service workers, too.  This afternoon we took our Math MAP test on the computer.  Then, we reviewed our spelling pattern from last week (ear, eer).  We also worked on a worksheet about capitalizing proper nouns.  Some students need to finish it for homework.  At the end of the day, I shared some of the things I learned from the math conference with the class.  We did some common core problem solving.  I got to meet the author of Lemonade for Sale while I was there.  I shared a picture of him with the class.  There are many fun things I will be sharing with the students throughout the year.

The Spelling Packet is going home tonight and will be due on Thursday, as usual.  Students also need to complete their Book Bags.
