Poems, Poems Everywhere

We just started a poetry unit that we'll be working on the next couple weeks. As part of the unit, each student has chosen a poem to work on and memorize. They will either recite it to me (required) or to the class (extra credit) by the end of next week.

Tonight's Homework:

1. Read 20 mins.
2. Write a short story (about 2-3 paragraphs) using at least 8 spelling words.
3. Work on memorizing your poem. Read it out loud to at least 2 different people.
4. Finish the Ice Cream math problem from yesterday.

**PARENTS: Notice that my email has changed with my new last name. My old one will still work, but please make note of the change! Thanks!!

Welcome back on track! Things have been a bit crazy the past couple days since I just barely got back from my honeymoon. But, we're all excited to be here and are back in the swing of things. We're finishing up the Revolutionary War and starting talking about the Constitution. We'll be discussing the federal government and voting, just in time for the election in 2 weeks. In Math, we're working on some beginning algebra concepts.

Tonight's Homework:

1. Read 20 mins
2. Spelling - sort and write
3. Math problem - due Friday
**If an ice cream shop sells thirty-one different flavors of ice cream, how many different double-scoop cones can they make?


Parents, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns as we approach parent teacher conferences in a couple weeks.
