Chilly September Mornings...

Our morning recesses in September have us snuggling down into our cozy jackets to stay comfortable while the beautiful afternoons have us shedding layers in the warm sunshine.  Everyone should bring a jacket for those chilly mornings; plus, sometimes the weather simply changes on us in a heartbeat. 

This week we read Meet Rosina which told about a girl just about our age who attends a school for the deaf.  It was interesting to use some of the signs from American Sign Language.  We learned that each language may have their own sign language as well. 

Trying to remember subjects and predicates is a tough job.  We had fun acting out predicates (the "action" part of a sentence) this week in language class.

A fun way to practice spelling words at home is to access the website Spellingcity.com .  On that website, search deile for the teacher name then find the list that goes with the current story.  The story for Sept. 17-21 is My Name is Yoon.
