Science!!

Today instead of Math we started some Science.  Sunset teachers are piloting the FOSS Science program that we will be adopting next year.  We will be alternating between Science and Math in the afternoons.  Since we didn't have math today there isn't any math homework. The area of Science we will work on is Measuring and Matter.  Today we talked about having common measurements and good measuring habits and techniques. 

In Reading this week we will be reading the story How My Family Lives in America.  The story is about three young people who all have a parent that was born in another country.  The spelling list that goes along with this story is homophones.  Check with your child to see if they know what a homonym is.  They should be bringing home practice book pages to practice their spelling.  As always, this doesn't have to be returned to school.

Tomorrow will be an exciting day as we will be visiting the middle school and also have visitors from the middle school to celebrate Character Counts day. I will take pictures tomorrow to add to the week's slideshow on Friday.  I will also post Twitter updates.  If your not following our class on Twitter at @mrbrimsclass do so before tomorrow so you can see updates throughout the day.
