IMPORTANT News

• Our room is currently in the process of being completely packed into boxes.  The movers will arrive Friday after school and transfer all of our belongings to the new building. Then I will spend the weekend and early next week attempting to unpack and organize our new space.  It will be a big job, but I am truly looking forward to working with the kids to create an inviting learning environment.
• Conferences are quickly approaching...  Please check out the attached schedule and let me know if you need to change your current time.   https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16iLvlURgik4wwnbPpvOAoNHVNtAUOH_fCA_bTGMOJFM/edit?usp=sharing

Global Read Aloud 

We have joined thousands of teachers and students from around the world in an exciting adventure called Global Read Aloud. Together with countless others we will be reading Fish In a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt.  This story is a heartwarming tale of a girl with dyslexia and how this impacts her daily life.  Over the next few weeks we will be busy reading, communicating with other classrooms, and even hearing from the author herself. We are excited about this reading opportunity!

Geography 

We are busy exploring Missouri geography.  We have been learning about the importance of rivers and caves in Missouri, recognizing major cities, and identifying resources of our state.  We also planned and calculated a trip around Missouri. We will have an open-note test on these topics in a few weeks.
