Pattern Recognition

I apologize for the late post tonight. Normally I will do this right after school is over, but sometimes I am forced to go later because of after school circumstances.

Anyway, I wanted to let you all know that the States and Capitals test for the Western region (maps went home yesterday) is next Wednesday, August 24th. We've been doing quite a bit of map work over the last few days.

Also, we've been doing our share of writing as well. Tomorrow we are going to be doing some work as writers and readers at the same time. You know, it's kind of funny that the stuff about the Revolutionary War comes at the start of the year in the reading text, but it does at least afford us the ability to go do some interesting writing early on in the school year. Hopefully by the time we get to the American Revolution about mid-year in Social Studies, it will be more of a revisit to some now familiar territory.

Tomorrow the kids have their sentences and/or illustrations due for their spelling words. We will also be reviewing before our first reading assessment on Friday. Friday is also the kids' first spelling test.

Have a great Thursday!
