Reading Homework

Starting today in your child's binder you will find a reading log.  It looks like this.......

The children are to start reading for 20 minutes each night and record their reading on this form. (Please do not remove this form from the binder) They will receive a reading grade each week on it.  Please refer to the grading scale at the bottom of the reading log for how they will be graded.  If you have any questions please feel free to ask Mrs. Step or Mrs. Wohlferd.

Today was our final build in our spider web engineering challenge.  We learned many things from this challenge. Some of the things were engineering related but many were about team work.  

Spelling test (Step & Ganus' class)

Just a reminder that your child will be having their 1st spelling test tomorrow over the spelling rule "blends".  You will find a spelling resource page in your child's binder in the resources section.

Blogs!

Today Mrs. Step and Mrs. Ganus' class blogged for the first time!  Please take the time to bookmark this website http://kidblog.org/MrsStep,  where you can go and read your child's posts throughout the year and make comments on them!  

Today in science we used our observation skills to guess what an old fashioned object was. Then they made presentations about how engineers have improved the object today.
