We All Fall Down

Today we've been doing a whole lot of synthesizing. This is not an easy thing to learn, but your kids have done a pretty good job of this so far. The kids read through an article and did their best to answer the who, what, where, when, and why of it. We also tried this with a story from the reading book as well as the book that I'm reading out loud to them. Our theme test on this will be this Wednesday.

A flu epidemic is going around Woodbrook! Our class was only missing two today (which is, itself, a sign of epidemic, as I have a rather hearty crew), but the classroom across the hall is missing ten, the one right next door to me is missing four or five at last count. Wash hands, push fluids, and if your child is showing any signs of the flu, please keep them at home. I don't say that very often, but it's bad around here, and there are a lot of Thanksgivings at stake.
