Where does the time go?

To all of you that check the blog faithfully, I am sorry that I did not blog yesterday. I was out of the building all day. The notes from the substitute said that everything went as planned and I returned to school to find a spotless classroom!

Today was a busy day in Language Arts. We added two words to our Vocabulary Vine, listened to our read a loud and met with our second grade reading buddies. We also had double specials!

Tomorrow is a regular assessment day so Fluency and Flow is due. Don't forget that all Treasure Box Projects are due tomorrow as well. I am very impressed with those that have been turned in so far. I can't wait to hear about them!

Homework:
***Fluency and Flow
***Treasure Box Projects
***Read and record minutes in the planner on the calendar

In Math we continued working on our CRT(Cumulative Review Test). This test is quite extensive but it does cover the standards covered throughout the year.

Homework:
***None

In Social Studies we continued to work on our time lines. This project will wrap up this nine week rotation. Chapter 2 tests were passed back today. Please get a parent signature and return it tomorrow.

Homework:
***Chapter 2 signed test

Reminders:
***You should have found a Science Expo packet in blue folders this week. Be sure to check planners for the due dates. We have given you the time over break to come up with your Science Expo proposal.
