Classroom Updates

Scholastic Book Order:
It was brought to my attention that the Prairieview Book Fair is Thursday, October 18th and our classroom book order is due Friday, October 19th. I accidently sent out a book order for October ( I usually skip the months that we hold the book fairs), so please use the orders that were sent home as a guide as to what you might see at the book fair on Oct. 18th. If you know you are unable to attend the book fair or would still like to order through the classroom, feel free to send in your scholastic book order by Oct. 19th. The most important thing is that the kids are reading and we are encouraging them to try out new books! Thank you!

Subject and Predicate:
The students have been working hard on this tricky concept. As a fun way to learn about this concept, I show the students a School House Rocks video that sings about subjects and predicates in a song about a man named Mr. Morton. Many students wanted to watch this video at home. If your child would like to view this video at home, please supervise them on www.youtube.com. Search for Mr. Morton School House Rocks and click on the video. There are 2 versions, the original cartoon version and the updated rap version. Your child should recognize which ones we have watched in class. They might even know the words! Have fun!!
