Today in writing, we read The Relatives Came which is a story about having family come in from out of town to visit and discussed writing from personal experience.  In math we are working on adding doubles and neighbors.  Parents, I cannot stress to you enough the importance of working with your kids on their math facts.  Quiz them in the car on the way to practices or buy some flash cards at the dollar store and spend 10 minutes each night going through them.  It will make a world of difference.  In reading, we read The Library Dragon and talked about caring for the books in our classroom library.  We also began our reading rotations today which the kids really enjoyed.  We also finished and signed our classroom social contract that we all agreed to live by this year in class.
