Another busy Monday...
Today was a busy one! We started off in home room and spent one hour in the LGI listening to former Northpoint students and their Principal, Mrs. Harper and their Vice Principal, Mr. Kaufmann. They shared with us many important things about Discovery and gave us an insight on what to expect. Yellow packets were passed out today. They contain important information for parents. Please be looking for those in backpacks.
Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts, we were pressed for time. We took our spelling pretest and worked on a worksheet practicing the spelling skill for the week. This week we are working on words that end in -ance, and -ence. This can be tricky so make sure that your child is studying a little each night. We also took some time to finish up our drawings that go along with our writing for Galaxy Gallery, met with our Reading Buddies, and finished all but two of our presentations.
Homework:
***Homework packets were passed out. These are due on Friday.
***Study spelling
***Assessments were passed back today.
