This is the week of September 21st, 2014. This week we started our first week of spelling, not Wordly Wise. There will be a change. Instead of using workbooks, students use their spelling notebooks to sort their words and complete activities to prepare for the test. The test will be of correct spelling, not comprehension questions like Wordly Wise.
We also started our first reading groups. We are reading adventure novels and answering questions in our notebooks. Comprehension questions specified for chapters are included, along with group meetings. The two novels are The Cay and Call It Courage.
Another thing that happened this week was that our first two Lemonade War groups sold their treats to the kids in the school during shifts. The first group sold cookie bars and made approximately $130. The second group sold brownies. We don't have that total yet.
In social studies we are learning about the cause and effect of the French and Indian War. In Where in the World the country was Kazakhstan. Lilly Simpson was in the spotlight. On Friday, we finished our first Math Challenge. This Friday was our second Pizza Friday.
Overall, we had a great week in Mrs. Benzing's classroom! We are looking forward to having more fun as the year progresses.
