This morning we were hard at work preparing for the start of Words Their Way in October. Students completed their 25 word spelling assessment, which will be used to place students according to the spelling pattern that they are ready to learn.  It was a challenging task, and I complement all of the students for their effort and attention to detail.

In the afternoon, we began learning about Sunflowers.  Kai's grandparents grow sunflowers and they kindly donated 6 to our classroom.  Today we pulled out the seeds and are excited to roast, count and plant them over the course of the week.

In gym, we learned about three types of locomotion: jump, hop and skip.  Ask your child to show you the differences between the three.
