Magical Monday!!!

Good Monday morning to all.  I trust you and your family had a wonderful weekend, played, rested and went to bed early last night!!

This week begins our regularly scheduled programming.  We hit the books in Language Arts with our California Treasures curriculum.   In math we are continuing to work on place value and will be learning about tenths, hundredths and thousandths.  Place value is an extremely important skill for your child to learn and understand.  You can really help them on a daily basis, especially when you go shopping...point out those decimal places and have them name place value positions for numbers!

Here's a link to a very fun website with a game to help reinforce place value.  Trust me, your children will love it and will learn something too.

Spelling City is another great site for your kids to play around on.  The best thing about the site is that not only are they going to have fun learning how to spell, the words they will be learning are the weekly spelling words.  Every week your child will be having a new spelling list and each of these lists are available online at Spelling City.  If you are not sure how to find Ms. Bennett's lists, just follow these very simple directions:

1. Go to spellingcity.com (or click the link above)
2. Click the tab "find a list"
3. Type in Lisa Bennett in the "search term"
4. Make sure it is set to search by "teacher name"
5. Click "search"

Voila!  It's as easy as that.

HOMEWORK

Spelling:  Copy spelling words in ABC order

Vocabulary: Copy definitions

Language Arts: Sentence Types w/s GR1
