On our way

Subjects are moving right along in class and what an amazing group of students!
We have moved into group work with our reading practice. There are five centers that the students rotate through each week. Each group has 3 or 4 students in it. Each lesson begins with an introduction together. This week we are working on compound words. For example, one center will be word building where we practice how to make compound words and use them in a sentence. Be sure you to ask you child about compound words!
Science has been great while we discuss the changes that fall brings. We have talked about hibernation and the students have done an excellent job of researching animals that hibernate and what animals do to prepare. You should see a booklet by the end of this week that your child has made about their findings.
Math has moved along quickly and we are looking at multiplication. Working with your child 10 minutes each night would be greatly appreciated.
There will be a music concert coming soon. Watch for details!
