MARCO.......POLO!

NOTE************  Just weekly reading homework tonight- nothing extra.

Today we started reading about Explorers.  Why do humans explore?  What does explore mean to you?  We began to read about three reasons that Europeans began exploring in the 1400s.  
1. To get more land
2. To spread Christianity
3. To find a route to the Indies

We also read this book about Marco Polo

PAWS! Celebration

We have gathered another 100 paws for great behavior!  So, we have to have another celebration.  Kids put ideas in a basket and I pulled out.......

On Monday, kids are allowed to wear PJs to class, they are also allowed to bring in a stuffed animal.  I will provide ice cream pops or sandwiches, and we can have an extra indoor recess.  

Great Work Class!

Moby Max

Do you want extra homework/practice time for your student?  I have signed up for a website called Moby Max.  It is a tailor made practice program for math and language arts.  I am sending a letter home to teach you how to sign in.  Kids have taken placement tests and are working on topics at their level.  They can earn badges and time for game playing as a motivation.  So, have some fun with Moby Max!
