Today we spent some time modelling and ordering decimal numbers to thousandths. Working with numbers less than 1 can be re-enforced and practiced at home easily by talking about money.<br />
<br />
We have also been focused on improving our descriptive writing by learning how to include more detail in sentences using adjectives and adverbs.<br />
<br />
Remember that "Picture Day," and "Meet the Teacher" are next week.<br />
Have a great weekend!<br />

Yesterday we had fun designing "mini action figure" contraptions to launch a mini figure from one point to another. We also presented our designs and discussed how we where successful.<br />
<br />
Today, we brainstormed a giant list of expectations for our class this year as well as played a community building game called "Zip, Zap, Zop!"<br />
Students are reminded to have two sets of shoes (indoor and outdoor) as well as a book to read. It would also be helpful to have a pencil sharpener and pencil crayons.<br />
