Last week was so full of learning!  We learned about Kelp Forests and had a great discussion about what it takes to be a forest ranger.  Here’s a link with a little taste of how great our friend Ranger Daniel was:

Then, our Hermit Crabs arrived on Wednesday!  They have nice cozy homes to live in and the excitement, when they move, is electrifying.  We do have a couple of Hermits that are very naughty at night. Here’s a quick video on the hermit crabs:

Homework
Reading 20 minute every night.  This is truly the most important thing  your child can do to increase vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.  There is a Google Sheet to record their responses.

Math
Prodigy is set to review the concepts we have already to covered and then to challenge each student with what he/she needs.  

Spelling
Due to this week being a short week, we will not be starting a new spelling pattern.  We will be reviewing throughout the week, but will not have a formal test on Thursday.

Thanks for supporting us in all that we do and have a great night!
