It's Getting Warmer in Here!

Well we had another day of gorgeous weather which is definitely a welcome change from the frigit winter we had. I am very glad for that! Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy though so make sure we dress for the weather!

Today we spent more time reviewing our story for the week, called Pepita Talks Twice. It is such a great story that has the wonderful message that students should be proud of who they are and it is an excellent thing to have more than one language that you speak! Maybe it even inspired some of the students to learn Spanish! Fingers crossed!

We also had time to read more of the book we are reading as a class, Little House on the Prairie. So far it is really good and it's giving the students a great idea of what life on the Oregon Trail was like for the brave pioneers that headed west.

Tomorrow the students have quite a few things due, though the have had every day to work on them in class AND have had extra time today as a study hall. Tomorrow students are going to turn in their sentence packet, 2 magazine writings, their spelling contract with 2 activities completed, Workbook pages 177-179, and Little House Chapter 2 read. It sounds like a lot but as I said before, most of the students only had one thing to take home today if they were working well during their work time.

Tomorrow students have a spelling quiz so make sure you study hard for that! Tomorrow is also the end of the midterm so on Monday students will get their midterm grades in class, and they will be mailed home like usual too. Some students need to work harder on getting that homework in on time!

Have a great evening, rest, get plenty of sleep and enjoy the beautiful weather! See you tomorrow!
