Wait, it's Friday?

Well, apparently, I completely missed Thursday! We have had two very busy days!

The students are working hard on their biography posters! Yesterday our room had an eery silence while students were working away. Several kiddos have finished their posters. Mr. Stewart walked through yesterday and gave us a hefty compliment on the quality of our work.

Two Hall of Fame spellers this week: Asher and Natasha. The words because and friends were very difficult.

We've been doubling up on the work on our posters and that has consumed most of our writing time the past two days. I can't wait for the posters to be finished.

We took a math assessment today on data collection and sorting. The students have done a great job figuring out ways to sort information. We're still working on different ways to categorize different types of information, but we'll have more time to figure that out in the next unit.

Our Junior Achievement volunteer came today. He's from Symantec and the children were excited to see him. He has an easygoing manner and I'm confident that JA will be a success.

Enjoy your weekend. I think more yard work is calling my name.
