News for the Week
September 28 - October 2, 2015
Academic Update
Literacy: Our topic for last week and a couple of days this week is "¡Leer es Pensar!" (Reading is Thinking). So far we have discussed making connections, likes/dislikes, visualization and what you can learn from the story. Our next two topics include: making predictions and thinking about the characters.
Intercambios: After a week of learning about communities, goods/services, producers/ consumers, discussing how to pricing should work in a business and beginning the process of planning their businesses.......the students are just about ready to start the construction process! I'm hoping the majority can start breaking ground today!
Spelling: This week is a single list of Spanish words. It has the pl/pr consonant combinations. Third grade NFSI will soon be starting a spelling program called Words Their Way.
