Today we reviewed our diphthong and digraph spellings so far. Nine students have now completed seminar on worker reports.
Yesterday our emphasis in P.E. was balance, speed and endurance. Today we practiced returning a serve in handball. Help students stay fit and increase core strength by assisting them with stomach crunches and push-ups each day. We will repeat our strength test again before winter break.
The district has proposed a mid-August start date for the school year for 2011-12 ending the year earlier June. I don't know when the decision will be finalized, but if you have an opinion in the matter we will probably need to find out the right ear to which to tell it.
We began topic/chapter 7 in math, which teaches subtraction to 12. We subtracted 0, 1, and 2 by thinking so many less as opposed to using our fingers or counting backwards, a subtle difference. Another strategy to keep in mind for this skill is to think fact families. The homework is math sheet 7-1.
In case you weren't aware the animal-free Circus Vargas is performing in Torrance currently. Vouchers are available for military Veteran's and those who are unemployed. For tickets and show times
Enjoy your time together tomorrow.
