Holy Heat Stroke, Batman!

It sure has been a hot one this weekend! I made sure to take time to sharpen my saw this weekend, and soak in the pool! I hope you all have had a nice weekend as well! 

This week we will be reading our Reading Street story, "Tip and Tam." We will have our pre spelling test tomorrow, so look for new spelling words to be stapled in your child's agenda tomorrow afternoon! Spelling words are also available now to study on spelling city. 

We will have our first math assessment this week as well! When these math test come home you will notice that there are two test. One is a pre test that we took on the first day, and the second will be the end of unit test for Unit one. The goal is to see growth (a higher score.) Celebrate these success with your children! They have been working very hard in math! 

We are continuing our study on community this week by talking about rules and laws. 

Our seven habits focus for this week is Habit 2, "begin with the end in mind." This habit means to have a plan. Think of a goal you'd like to reach, how will you get there? What is your plan? Discuss this with your children. They should be experts at talking about goals, we discuss this often in class! :) 


Like last week, post pictures of your kids beginning with the end in mind to our Facebook page. I LOVED seeing everyone in action last week being proactive!

 Before I go, here are some shots of our week last week!
