Dragon of the Week

All About Drake!

We had a very exciting day! We took our spelling pre-test. (There are some repeat challenge words this week!)  We came in to our classroom and found some changes!  We have a backdrop of Arthur's Classroom, His Home and The Stage for Arthur's Thanksgiving!  It changes the whole atmosphere of our own classroom.  This week we will be start our Arthur's Rotation.  Today we read Arthur's Eyes and decided that Arthur was nearsighted. We know this because he could not see the chalkboard from his seat, he had to have his nose in his book, he couldn't see the basketball hoop in gym AND he walked into the GIRLS BATHROOM!!! Arthur went to Dr. Iris the optometrist and sure enough he needed glasses.  Francine wanted glasses too...She came to school with a pair of "fancy" glasses without lenses and said they were her MOVIE STAR GLASSES. We made a pair of our own!

Can you find YOUR movie star?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure your child has his or her reading folder EVERYDAY!  It was difficult practicing fluency with the number of missing scripts! 
Thanks again for sending in permission slips.  I have more if anyone has misplaced theirs and needs another...just let me know! 
Also...I want to thank the mystery donor of FEATHERS!  They will come in handy! THANK YOU!
Have a wonderful evening! Enjoy the daylight while we have it! :)
