Reading

I know you might be thinking the week has already begun, but we have already put in over an hour and a half into reading this week.  I think this is by far one of my favorite weeks in reading.  Today in our small groups we started reading some reader's theatre.  Your children are hilarious with their voices.  Today we had a really good time getting into character.  The voice and emotion the kids put into their reading today helped us to have a few smiles and laughs!  I love when a book can put a smile on your face!  Can you tell I love to read?

I also wanted to share that we are starting our measuring unit in math.  Boy oh boy are we needing some help!  This unit throws a lot at the kids.  The kids will need to know how to measure to the nearest inch, 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, and centimeter.  (Well that will get us to the end of the week anyways.  I wish I would have brought my Everyday Mathematics book home so I could be a little more accurate.)  However, any  help you can give us would be greatly appreciated!  This truly is a hard concept to master, so the more practice your child gets the better off he/she will be!

Once again, I hope you all have a great week!  :D
