We had a great Friday full of learning and fun today. We started off the morning with our first spelling test. Your child will be bringing home their test from today, and on the back of it are their new words for next week. We are doing personalized spelling lists now, so each student will have their own words to practice. These words are taken from their writing books, so they are words that are personalized to each student. This way students can practice words at the appropriate level for them, and can implement them into their writing.
In Science we continued our investigation of vibration by watching a short video clip of a science experiment involving a plastic cup, a stretched out balloon, a speaker, and salt. We had to predict what we thought would happen, and had to use our knowledge about vibration and sound to justify our guesses. Ask me about this at home! We have some great Scientist's on our hands!
The SLA's will be starting next week. Please see Monday's post for more information about these assessments. They will be ongoing throughout the month of October. Please let me know if you have any questions about them.
