Looks like fun, doesn't it?

Homework

Tonight, please spend 20 minutes reading. Write the name of the book, pages read, and at least 5 sentences about the book.

That's it!

Note to parents:
I have adopted the policy of keeping kids in for recess if they have not completed homework. It is not my favorite thing to do as I really feel that kids need a chance to get outdoors. If you have anymore creative suggestions, please drop me a note or email!

Today's Journal: Make up your own folktale

There once was a fairy that granted wishes but there was no one to grant a wish to. One day the fairy saw someone to grant 3 wishes to. The little girl was living in the smallest house ever. They lived on a island. So the fairy granted 3 wishes for the little girl. The little girl lived in a mansion and had tons of land and they lived happily ever after.

How is homework going? If you have trouble completing an assignment, please have your parents drop me a note to explain why it could not get done.

Tonight, please complete the math activity. Also, you need to ask your parent's for a spelling word for this week. They get to choose one, you choose 8 and I choose one. You should have all 10 words. Please check and make sure they are all written neatly and spelled correctly. Make your refrigerator list and post it up on the fridge or wall if possible. Practice them whenever you get a chance!

In addition, get out there and try to get some fresh air! I don't know whether we will have nice weather like this for long!
