September 21

This month is going by very quickly!  We have worked hard, and we are learning new things.  We are learning about each other, too. 
One of my favorite things to do is read, and I've read a lot of books to the kids already. They seemed to enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed them.  Many of them you can get at the Vaughn Library.  These are the ones I've read in the past week or so: WE ARE IN A BOOK!
READ ANYTHING GOOD LATELY?
  HOW ROCKET LEARNED TO READ
HIP & HOP, DON'T STOP!
THE INCREDIBLE BOOK EATING BOY
LET'S DO NOTHING!
MISS MALARKEY LEAVES NO READER BEHIND
MISS BROOKS LOVES BOOKS! (and I don't)

The classroom book they've enjoyed the most is PETE THE CAT ROCKING IN MY SCHOOL SHOES, and my own book PETE THE CAT- I LOVE MY WHITE SHOES.  There is a You-Tube video with the songs for these.  Maybe your child has been singing it already!

In Religion, we have read the story of Adam and Eve in Genesis.  We also learned about making choices and that includes good and bad choices.  Yesterday we did the Chapter 2 Test by playing a game.  Two "contestants" would be up, and I'd give the question. The answer choices were on the mimio board.  Each contestant had a light to push to be the first to answer. They had a blast!  We'll probably do that next week, too.

In Math, we are working on subtraction.  We practice the fact families while doing the lessons.  They need to know their addition and subtraction facts through 20.


Have a great weekend!
