A Big Bite

Week 2 is over and I can't believe how quickly it has gone by! We have continued to make great progress in reading and our book count for the year is 17! What an impressive number so early in the school year! If we keep reading at this pace, we will certainly read over 1,ooo books this year. In writing, we have been developing goals for this school year and have continued to work on our biopoems. Check out the post from Friday that lists some of the poems which have been completed! Geometry continues to be the theme in math and our first test will probably be early next week. Science and Social Studies will get started this week with a unit on Maps and Globes, and a unit on the Scientific Method and Life Cycles. The 12 inch jar, which can also be an empty two liter bottle, is due next week. In addition, we will celebrate Constitution day on September 17th. On Friday, we saw a presentation about the different musical instruments that students can study through the after school music program, and information was sent home with the students. This will be our first full week and I am sure that it is going to be great! Thanks to everyone who has been signing up to be a follower of The Shiny Red Apple-I am up to 15 followers, 5 short of my goal. Can you help me reach my goal?
Enjoy the rest of the weekend,
