Writing partners, spelling tests and Family Days oh my!

What a great, full week!  We had our first FAMILY DAY of the school year.  Did your child tell you all about it?  We will be having this special day every Early Release day!  

Our class had our first spelling test this week.  Every child had a unique and individual list created by THEM based on their own needs.  This week we talked about the long and short vowel sound a makes, as well as reviewed the "magic e" spelling rule.  During our Daily 5 time each day the kids were able to complete activities to help them learn the different spelling rules and patterns, as well as time to practice spelling words from their list.  Make sure to look for these tests, they are 
coming home in Monday's folder.

We had a FANTASTIC time working with our writing partners.  Take a look at how focused they are.  EVERYONE got something out of this work session.  The kids can't wait to work with their writing partners again soon!




Our first GARDEN DAY is this Tuesday.  I am looking forward to seeing
 Cherry Yan and Amelia Morrison
