10/2

Today has been a great day!  The kids earned two stars for good behavior while I was in a meeting, so we are up to 60 total.  That called for a reward, so we grabbed our lunches and went to the playground for a picnic and extra recess.

We have started a fun little project to put dull, overused, boring words to rest.  Each child drew a "boring" word from a box.  Their job now is to come up with more interesting synonyms for their word.  (A few students are partners.)  We will be making tombstones to put these boring words to rest- and to display better word choices.  Feel free to help your child come up with "better" words.  I have not set a date yet to make our tombstones, but it will be either Friday or early next week.

HW:
Finish CPA intro paragraph.
Finish spelling & vocabulary choices.

*Unit 2 math test Friday (+/- decimals)

*This month's genre is mystery.
