TONIGHT'S HOMEWORK IS TO WRITE SENTENCES WITH WORDS 1-7.  Please refer to last week's blue paper for instructions.

Study spelling and practice addition facts.

Things we're working on:  nouns, verbs, adjectives, main idea and details, reading informational texts, using time order words, writing and telling time to the nearest five minutes, +3 facts (building speed), bones, and more!

Tomorrow the CHS students will be coming to play skeletal games with us that they have made!  This is always a fun event for my classroom!

Bring library books tomorrow.
