Welcome back!  I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break!  We took it a little slow this morning.  We wrote about what we did over break and everyone got to share today.  Then, we learned about words with silent letters with kn, gn, wr.  The Spelling words and packet are coming home today.  There are several difficult words to be studied.  We completed a word sort, our DLP and talked about how to abbreviate both the days of the week and months of the year when writing the date.  In Social Studies, we started a new unit on our government.  We practiced the reading skill main idea and details.  We also watched short video clips about our local government.  This afternoon we started to add three-digit numbers with regrouping.  Please practice at home!  There is one page of homework to be completed.  At the end of the day, we went to the computer lab and took a timed test.
