2nd week of school!

It is the 2nd week of school and we are getting into curriculum.  The kids had their first homework assignment last night, and I was so pleased that everyone brought it back today!  The spelling words for this week are:

2nd- we, there, can, an, your
3rd- along, while, might, next, sound
challenge- fossil, paleontologist, geologist, petrified

The spelling test will be on Friday.  Please help your child study his/her words, and if they are not enough of a challenge, study the challenge words as well.

We have been working on addition and subtraction story problems.  We took a writing pre-test to help me determine the writing skills they already have.  We read a story about a girl who visits her aunt, a geologist, and learns all sorts of fascinating things about geology!  Then, in science, we got to be geologists ourselves!  Wow!  We are already very busy!  Everyone is doing a fantastic job!
