This Week's Adventures

We had our spelling test today and we won't have a new list this week because we want our focus to be on our writing (our state research paper) and on math (it's getting harder!). We'll pick up spelling again next week.

In Science we're starting a unit on weathering and erosion. We looked at examples today and will continue that through next week.

Congratulations to Sam on his Knights of the Round Table award today! He earned it for picking up other people's scrap paper without being asked. He enjoyed a root beer float at lunch today!

At this morning's Gathering, we continued our manners work by learning even more manners:

1. When someone asks you how your day was, answer their question and then ask them how their day was (or how they are doing).

2. When someone invites you to do something at their house (or somewhere else), remember to thank them for inviting you.

Today we also talked about how difficult it is to stay focused this time of year. The weather is FINALLY nice, we had a late Easter vacation which makes it hard to get back into studying, and we're staying up later because it's light out later and we have more going on now at home. However, it's important to remember that we have 22 more days of school so we need to continue to do our best. We want to be completely ready for 3rd grade and we can only do that by putting in our best effort until the last day. We can do it!
