Welcome Back Everyone!!!


Another school year is upon us!  Let's focus on making this one the best one yet!  We are very excited to be back together again.... another year older and another year wiser!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Back to School Night, September 15th!



ELA
We are beginning our studies with Unit 8 in our Journeys' textbook.  Both the anchor text and companion text will be read throughout the week with our assessment given on Fridays.  Spelling tests will also be given every Friday.  The students are anxious to do well in spelling and make "Mrs. Carr's Wall of Fame".  

Our first essay entitled "Proud to be an American" is being proudly displayed in the hallway.  We worked hard researching American symbols and vocabulary to assist with our display.  

Spelling words this week include:  turned, wind, autumn, among, along, because, leaves, need, sure, government, false, pause, bald, faucet, and stalk.

Vocabulary words:  studio, smeared, glorious, concerned, model, ruined, yanked, streak, schedule, feast

MATH
Math class has gotten into its regular routine.  We do fast facts and double digits daily followed by our lesson and practice.  Currently we are working on place value.  With play-offs and the World Series being just around the corner, what better way to look at the numbers then to compare the salaries of major league baseball and the NFL.  Students have had fun placing our footballs and baseballs on our chart.
