Although Monday was the Martin Luther King holiday we are spending some time this week learning about him and his important and true words. He said something like, "Hate cannot conquer hate but love can conquer hate." We are learning a bit of history about slavery, the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, Civil Rights and how we should treat all people. We will also be doing some writing about what our dreams are and about Dr. King's big dream.
The keyword is "Freedom."
We are finishing up the vocabulary and math from last week. We will have a spelling test on Thursday. The spelling this week is that both "ou" and "ow" say /ou/ as in cloud and now. The students need to recognize when each one is used.
We will have a presentation to our class tomorrow by the Safe School Ambassadors from the school.
We are also finishing our unit on Healthy Lifestyles.
The students are to turn in their Math Games on Thursday. The Reading Response Journal will be collected on Friday. I will send home a fresh RRJ for students to use for makeup work for missed homework assignments.
I especially hope that all of the children will continue to read and record their minutes while they are off track. It is also important for them to work on Math Facts, Handwriting Books and memorizing how to write their name, address and phone number.
Have a great time off track. Look for more here on February 12th. I will look forward to seeing the kids again on February 16th.
