Social Studies
We completed our unit on government. Hopefully you're impressed with what your child can tell you about voting and the election process! :-) We have started learning about groups, leaders, rules, and communities. The family flag project was such a success. It was wonderful to hear the children explain why you all chose the symbols you did to represent your family. I hope you all enjoyed working together to create something so important to you. I enjoyed them so much that I would like to assign a family project for each unit. So, stay tuned to find out what the next project is...and be sure to have fun with it!
Spelling Words - 10/6/08
Dear families-
The first two spelling lists contained words that the students chose from the story we would be reading for the week. I noticed that they seemed to be too challenging for now. For the next few weeks, I will be selecting words that are still related to the story we will be reading, but that will be a bit more focused on specific phonics skills. As the year progresses (and your children progress, too) we may be able to go back to having them select their own spelling words. I will certainly keep you posted.
Here are this week's spelling words- **Remember the test will be on Thursday because the students do not have school on Friday**
1. was 6. because
2. have 7. every
3. said 8. write
4. they 9. our
5. any 10. come
(Regular spelling homework as usual except, no book report this week. Wednesday will be three times each instead of Thursday.)
