It was awesome to get back and see everyone!  I was jealous of some of those tans the kids brought back with them 😉  We got right back into the swing of things with no problems.

Math homework tonight practices area and perimeter.  We did the first one together.  They should have written at the top of their paper that:

area = the number of squares inside the shape

perimeter = the distance around the outside of the shape.

Reading groups are being done a little differently this week due to the start of my testing.  Many of the reading groups have chapter books.  Last night their job was to summarize.  Tonight, their job is to draw a picture that relates to the reading and write a sentence that explains it.  They will meet to discuss their pictures on Thursday.

This Wednesday is the school PBIS reward.  Students who have 4 or less yellows will be able to participate.  We will spend part of the afternoon watching the Tigers game on TV and eating a “junky” snack (students should bring this from home).  Any students who have 5 yellows or more will be with Mr. Denison during that time of the day.
