Today we worked very hard during reading class. We talked about what shorthand is-it was mentioned in one of the group's books. I made a copy of how to write a type of shorthand for the students to take home.

I also sent home a conference note that needs to be completed by tommorrow. Our school usually does a better job of planning ahead to give parents time to plan further ahead, but time got away from us and our first conferences are this coming Monday. If you are able to come this coming Monday, that would be great! Look at all of the dates and times on the slip, choose the ones that work for you, and send it back ASAP! Thanks so much for understanding!

Homework:

Reading: read 20 minutes. Finish group pages

Writing: finish the rough draft of a story for tomorrow-we have been working on this for a week in class.

Spelling: finish 10 sentences for tomorrow using your spelling words

Math: Finish timing if necessary

Other: Baby photo for yearbook
