Today we did something new in reading class.  We wrote our answers to the questions from our decodable books in complete sentences!  We have been practicing the skill of answering in a complete sentence since the first day of school, but we have mainly done it orally.  Today we answered all 4 of the questions from Leo the Lion by writing our answers.  The students brought home their completed papers in their decodable book bag.  I gave them a challenge homework assignment--  If they can answer the 4 questions from Sue's Clues in a complete sentence and restate the question in each sentence then they will receive a special surprise from me tomorrow.  There will not be a consequence for anyone who chooses not to complete this assignment.  It is optional!

In math today we talked about how we can add numbers in any order.  This is a reviewed skill that we have been practicing all year long so the kiddos did great with it!

Remember decodable books and reading homework journals are due tomorrow (Thursday).  The spelling test over Unit 5 Lesson 14-15 words is on Friday.  Our Math test over Chapter 3 is on Monday.

Congratulations to Alexis!  She lost her first tooth today!  I love being here for these milestone moments!  :)
