Computers & Brainstorming

Today, we had our first chapel of the year with Pastor Brad. He even sang our new theme song with us. Then we talked about responsibility which is the R in CHERISH.  Ask your student what they think responsibility means.

Today, I also  introduced Spelling City, Qwerty Town, Khan Academy and Reading Plus. These are the main websites that we will use in our classroom. I will be sending home some information about these sites. Spelling City and Reading Plus (RP is for 5-7 graders) will have weekly assignments.

Then we continued to talk about brainstorming and how we can get ideas for our writing. We spent some time cutting out words and pictures to put in our writer's notebooks. I think you'll enjoy looking at their notebooks at the open house.

Don't forget the open house is this Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

(5-7 graders only need to write quotes during the school week) Our quote for today is from Marie Curie, "“Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.”
