We started our week talking about our country, our flag, and our country’s symbols.  We made a book about America and learned what it means to be a citizen.
  On Tuesday we started a study about our teeth.  We talked about the many ways we can take care of our teeth and how important it is to brush twice a day.  Your child has a new toothbrush and a small tube of toothpaste in his/her book bag.
  In Writing we wrote stories about what the tooth fairy does with all the teeth he/she collects!  Many of our students wrote 5 to 7 sentences.  Way to go! 
  In Math we started a new topic on Graphing.  We have learned how to take a survey and then use the data to make a graph.

Spell-a-thon
