Spelling Bee Update!

Quote:  "A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong. "  Tecumseh

We are the proud class that would like to announce Merwin's Spelling Bee winner came from our homeroom.  Priya Patel won the Spelling Bee and will now compete in the next level.  We are so proud of her and our runner-up David Jackson!   

When we return next week, we will continue where we left off and hopefully finish up our skills and strategies for the story:  How Night Came from the Sea.   Reading myths has been a bit of a challenge for us so I am hoping to continue this genre as the year continues.  If anyone has a favorite myth, please bring it in to share with the class. 

Have a great weekend!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a great, relaxing break.  It did not take us long to back in the swing of things.  We are not going to have spelling this week!  In reading class we are reading about weather, hurricanes, and a story titled, A Man Who Named the Clouds.     Our focus skills in reading will be how to use Graphic Sources and Important Ideas to better understand what we read. 

This week my hopes are that we get started with students posting information for this blog!  Time is never on our side! :)
