Happy 9th birthday Madi! Thanks for bringing cupcakes for the class!
Today we had our spelling pre-test. This week's words each contain two letters that make one sound: sh, ch, th, wr, and ck. We will have our test on Friday.
In Math we worked on multiplication and division. We related them to addition and subtraction as we solved several problems together and independently.
We read the story Davy Crockett Saves the World and learned 5 new vocabulary words: concoction, sauntered, commence, singed, and discombobulated. We also started reading our chosen tall tales and listed vocabulary words we wanted to learn more about. The students chose from the following tall tales: Mike Fink, Paula Bunyan, Sally Ann Thunder Whirlwind Crockett, John Henry, and Library Lil.
We received another Flat Stanley today! This Flat Stanley traveled all of the way to Santa Cruz, California and back! So far, Flat Stanley has traveled 13,498 miles!
What great vocabulary words! Discombobulated and sauntered! Keep up the good reading! Another good tall tale is the story of Kate Shelley--she was from Iowa!
