I hope everyone had a great Fall Break.  I am excited to hear about all the fun adventures that happened over the weekend.

Last week we took a spelling test that allows me to evaluate the phonic areas that each child needs help on.  We did a two act play and lots of reading.  In math we took a quiz and this week we are going to take a test on the things we have learned so far this year.  I will send the results home next Monday.

Thank you parents for coming to SEOP's .  It was wonderful to talk to all of you.  For those who could not make it I would love to reschedule a time were you come and visit with me.

Reading: We continue to talk about the character and setting.  This week we spent more time talking about the authors purpose.

REMEMBER SEOP’S TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.

READING:  We continued to talk about characters and settings. We did our second summary page.  About half of the class did this assignment on their own while the other half I guided them through it.  On Friday we did our Readers Theater.  We did 2 plays- Spinderella and Raffunzel.  We added a listening center to our class.  The children will listen and read along with a person reading at the expected Words Per Minute and then they will be given a comprehension quiz on the story. 

MATH:  We did story problems, had a pocket day (Where we counted all the pockets and tried to figure out the best way to count all the pockets.) worked on all the ways we can add or subtract to get 10, and we introduced doubles.

SCIENCE:  We worked on drawing pictures of what happened on our log and we made a diagram of the life cycle of a butterfly.

SOCIAL STUDIES:  We talked about some of the words in the “Pledge of Allegiance”

And the United States is a Republic where we can vote.  We also found the temperatures of different cities in the 7 continents.  American Fork tied with Los Angeles and Antarctica was still the coldest.
