I hope everyone enjoyed their five day Thanksgiving Break!
Our Spelling Principle this week is Bossy R. When Bossy R comes after a vowel, he BOSSES the vowel around and doesn't let it say its name OR sound. This makes it hard to spell words that have a Bossy R, but the more we practice, the better we'll get! This week we are focusing on IR, ER, and UR - they all LOOK DIFFERENT, but they SOUND the SAME. Today we brainstormed words that have the IR, ER, or UR sound and made sure each word had either IR, ER, or UR (even if we weren't sure which one, we knew it had to be ONE of them!) Here is the beginning of our list...we will add more words as we think of them!

We will take our Chapter 8 Math test on Wednesday and begin Chapter 9 - Graphs and Tables - on Thursday. In this chapter we will sort, classify, make graphs (picture AND bar), tally, and answer questions about graphs. This chapter will take us a little longer than most because there is A LOT to cover.
In Social Studies we have begun our Then and Now Unit. We will spend time learning about schools, transportation, and homes from the past and comparing them to our current schools, transportation, and homes. This afternoon we compared desks from the past and our desks we use today - ask your child how they are the same and different!
I hope everyone has a great, FULL week back at school and work!
