Prospectus

Monday has come and gone. Recently, the kids have started to say, "Today has gone by really quickly." I agree completely. But as the days whip by, it's more important than ever that we keep on top of things like school work and staying on task. Luckily we've been able to thus far.

Tomorrow night is the book fair family night. It is in Woodbrook's library, and it will last from 5pm-8pm. We did go down and look around today and a few kids bought some things. We will also be in the library on Wednesday morning for our normal time, and then the kids are also allowed to go back with passes for the rest of the week as well.

Here's this week's spelling list:

balance
conclude
express
generate
inquire
obtain
pursue
sponsor
upgrade
urge
develop
magnify

In reading, we discussed the idea of synthesizing today. This is probably the trickiest of the over-arching learning targets in the Rigby program. This is where you take the parts or information given in a story and use those parts to create something new. Like I said, not super-easy, but they can do it.

Tomorrow they have 135-136 in their Math Journals and Study Link 5.5. Also, their spelling definitions are due as well as their sloppy copy for their Biztown resume.

Have a great Monday night.
