Thank you Gage for a WONDERFUL week! You are a special little boy!

AAAUUUGHHH...I am so frustrated! They reimage our computers every summer...No big deal I know it's coming so I make sure everything is on my external hard drive or somewhere the reimaging isn't going affect. WELL...we came back to find our icons are itty bitty (I know my eyes are a year older BUT REALLLY?) So, our tech person, showed me how to make the icons bigger but when we did that a majority of the icons changed to the white piece of paper with the big blue e on it! WELL...now...not only are my eyes another year older I am a VISUAL person and need my icons!!! So, finally today I put in a helpdesk and they came and "fixed" my problem...How? Well...I'm pretty sure they reimaged my computer and now I have no pictures...of the year...I will try to pull them off the blog...all my setting are changed...

Enough about my problems! I think I can let it go now!

Next week is week 5! How crazy is that?

Reading: Schema

Social Studies: Responsibility/Authority Figures

Writing: Ideas

Spelling: are, in, like (feel free to study with your child before the

pre-test

Math: Patterns in Numbers/Addition and Subtraction

Science: Sorting based on properties and patterns

I was so impressed with our spelling progress this week! I can tell many of you are studying those words! It is good practice for next 9 weeks when there will be 10 words!!! I have also seen a huge improvement in using these spelling words in our writing!

We had a great time this morning with our 5 senses bags! Thanks to all of you that sent those back for today's activity! There were some GREAT senses clues...We were able to guess a lot of them but not all! We were stumped on "minty gum", the pear, the kitchen timer, and sunflower seeds! Great JOB you guys. This activity was great not only for the 5 senses but also for oral language development!!!

We recorded one of our reader's theaters today! Hopefully, I will be able to, once again, figure out the technology and get it uploaded to share with you all! Great job, Manas, Lucy, Blake, Gage and Kaitlyn!

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! I will have had time to get over my computer frustration! Looking forward to seeing all of my little dragons on Monday...Oh! FYI I will not be in school on Friday! My youngest sister is coming in from North Dakota. We will be spending the day with my youngest nephew, Hank and the Zoo! So...please talk to your dragon about being on their BEST behavior for our substitute! Thanks so much!
