Handicaps

We are so thankful for our bodies that God created. We "practiced" having different handicaps to know how difficult it can be.  Even if we have handicaps we can overcome with perseverance. Here is an incredible video of a young woman who did not put the word "can't" in her vocabulary. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByFUzo9KwryWWkRwUEw4bmZNaVk/view?sle=true


The fourth graders will start preparing for their chapter math test which will be next Tuesday.  Please work with your child at home, studying the concepts and even looking up the videos on Kahn Academy for extra support. 

Today in writer's workshop we read a wonderful book.  Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T18NCobS43c. The stories the students came up with on their own were wonderful.  We are talking about how to use sequencing and transitions in our writing.

In reading we are working on different reading strategies to help them understand their text.

Tomorrow, science exercise journals are due plus we will have a quiz on nouns.

On Friday, memory verse written and illustrated and recited is due, spellingcity assignments, spelling words and definitions and spelling and vocabulary tests will be given.  Friday, at 8:00am is our first monthly awards ceremony of the school year.  Please come to support our students! Your child's Reading Plus will also be due on Monday morning.

If you have any questions please call the office to set up an appointment or email me at michelle.velbis@floridaconference.com.  

Our quote for today is from Margaret Fuller, “Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.”
