Good news... we all survived the Fun Run! Congrats to Emily and Zack who won medals. I'm proud of all the students for having such great attitudes and hanging in there.

This week we read about Johnny Appleseed and studied legends. We'll continue our studies next week with Paul Bunyan, John Henry and other tall tales. The students finished their first day of school papers and did a fantastic job! I'll send those home next week, get excited for a good read!

In math we rounded, estimated and added. Estimation was pretty hard for the kids so I re-taught that yesterday, I think they are starting to get the hang of it. Next week we'll move into addition of 4 digit numbers and word problems.

Every Thursday I send home yellow slips of paper with your child's missing assignments listed on them. These assignments were given throughout the week. On Friday I reward the students who got all their work done with Fun Friday where we play games, type, read, do crafts, etc. The students who did NOT finish their work must do it out in the hall or in another teacher's classroom. PLEASE back me up by encouraging your child to use their time wisely in school so they aren't loaded with homework on Thursday night. Thank you!

Have a great weekend! GO BYU!!!
