The Week of September 6^th, - September 10^th, 2010

The class completed their first Science assessment, and I am so proud of the results!

This week’s discussion in Social Studies will revolve around Florida’s diverse population. We will also talk about the proper way to take care of our beautiful state. Protecting Florida’s unique wildlife is critical.

In English, we’re really examining the bare bones of predicates. We are going to review complete predicates and hunt down the simple predicate. Chasing down run-on sentences is our next goal. We’ll command them to slow down with periods and capitalizations.

In Math, money is looming into view. Let’s find the relationship between decimals and money. We’ll also be counting money and reviewing previous lessons to keep our memories fresh.

Our comprehension story of the week is Sarah Plain and Tall.

Remember, there is NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 6^th. Have a wonderful Labor Day!
