Hi everyone,
I decided to use a class blog instead of a newsletter. Many of you did not receive the newsletter last week and I thought that a blog would be an easy way to update you on what our class is doing! You can bookmark this site and look at it any time! You can also add the Blogger app to your phone. The blog address is:
Ms. Rasicot's Class Blog
I will still send emails with important information but this is where you will find updates on all the wonderful things happening in our class. I will post the spelling words for the week and let you know what we are covering in reading, math, science or social studies and our weekly schedule.
Everyone did a great job on their first Spelling Test!
The words were:
Basic Words: has, six, fix, wag, will, him, bad, sat, if, had
Challenge Words: clam, inch, rabbit, patch, stick, swam, cricket, glad, twins, fabric
September 10 - 14
