Wednesday went so fast, I'm always thrilled with how focused and engaged your children are when they come into my classroom. We had the first full Think and Touch set of activities. They were challenging, but I also heard a few say they were fun. What could be better, fun and hard at the same time.
We also finished our Doggone Mystery. Ask your child about this activity and see if they can remember important details from the information we were given. The packet will come home next week and you'll be able to see the details we had to wade through to find the real dognapper.
Next week we'll begin writing our own mysteries. The children should bring their flash drives to school. I'll review the parts of a story and then the children can begin writing. I like to let them choose between writing out a long hand rough draft of just begin typing. Some children are just better at getting stories down when they can type.
If your child is not a typist, it is fine with me if you type for them. I just ask that you type EXACTLY what they've written. It's important that they learn to edit their own work. I will be showing them how to set up their word documents during our computer time.
