We had a great chapel message from the office staff today about using our hands and words for good things instead of hurting ourselves or others.  The students traced their hands and signed their names to take the pledge:  I will not use my hands or my words for hurting myself or others.  We will say that pledge as a school on Wednesdays at chapel. 

In Math, we worked on comparing numbers using the greater than, less than, and equal to signs.  We will finish up that lesson tomorrow.  We went over the parts of a dictionary entry and worked some more on alphabetical order.  That seems to still be an area of difficulty for some of the students, so we'll keep working on it! 

We had a few parents help us this afternoon with different tasks, including the writing of our personal narratives.  During that time, I started having individuals come read to me.  At the end of the day, we practiced identifying subjects and predicates and figuring out how to make fragments into complete sentences. 

Homework for today is...

Read Allie's Basketball Dream during 20 minutes of reading - I suggest having your child read it to you out loud and stop to ask them periodically if they understood what they read.

Some students need to finish the rough drafts of their personal narratives
