Patriot's Day
Below are a few pictures of our Patriot's Day flag activity. On the flags, the students wrote why they were proud to be Americans. On the back is a copy of the lyrics, "I'm Proud to Be an American." These flags have been sent to various fire and police stations as a sign of gratitude to these civil servants.

A few weekend things
First, mark chart slips went home today. They need to be signed and returned on Monday.
Second, some students need to retake the Reading Counts! quiz for "Akiak." They should have brought home their reading books to re-read the story over the weekend.
Have a great weekend! SAT-10 testing is complete, so it is back to our regular schedule on Monday.
Please ask your child about a few concepts we discussed today:
What is a hero?
What is a patriot?
What did they create today? What did it say?

Wondrous Wednesday
I apologize for last night's lack of homework post. Time got away from me! Here's today:
STUDENTS MUST HAVE COMPLETED PLANNERS SIGNED BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN TONIGHT. Remember that, if they have Mrs. Svob for a subject area, their homework may be different from what you see below.
Language arts: We completed DEAR and Six-Minute Solution. We discussed the theme of journeys and elements of story structure. We completed handwriting practice for today. We also played a game to recognize nouns (quick tip: put a, an, or the in front of a word... if it makes sense that way, it is probably a noun)
Language arts homework: Vocabulary book, p. 8-9
Science: We wrapped up our discussion of process skills by estimating and talking about models. We also worked on a crossword puzzle covering customary units of measurement.
Math: We completed Math Minute 4 and checked our homework.
Math homework: Students should practice their addition/subtraction fact triangles. They have looseleaf paper on which they should write two fact families that have a 10 in them (in honor of this being the tenth day of school). A fact family is a set of equations that are inverses. for example, here is a fact family:
3 + 5 = 8
5 + 3 = 8
8 - 3 = 5
8 - 5 = 3
