Today's photographer was Joey. He took a picture of our United States map, which was very appropriate since we will be studying the different regions of the United States in Social Studies.
This week we made posters of the different kinds of landscapes in the U.S. This Friday we will be working on diaromas of our favorite landscape. They may choose from prairie, coastal, mountain or desert. Please have them bring a shoebox and any other materials that would make their graded project better - such as small plastic animals or vegetation, shells, rocks, etc... You can go to this link to see an example.

We discussed and practiced the procedures for a lockdown and fire today. The students were very calm and did a great job.
Tomorrow I will be able to finish doing the DIBELS reading fluency test with all of my students. Please make sure that your child is reading every night. Also ask them questions about what they are reading for comprehension. Encourage them to read books at or beyond their grade level and in subjects that interest them.
We began our day looking up praises to God. It was a great way to start the day! "I remember the days long ago. I reflect on all that you have done. I carefully consider what your hands have made." Psalm 143:5
Thanks for challenging our children's minds and characters.
