I am still waiting for information from Oakwood Nature Center for our field trip on Wednesday. We are all set to go, just don't have some details yet from them. I still need at least 2-3 more drivers for Wednesday. Please let me know if you are able to drive. This will be an "all day" field trip. Leaving at 9 AM and returning around 2 PM (those are my educated guesses at this time).

Reading - we read pages 65-71 together in class. I also handed out In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson. Students are to read "January" (chapter 1) for next Tuesday - 9/27 and complete the questions and vocabulary. Each student has folder just for these assignments and will turn in the folder with their work in it each Tuesday. I do not formally give time in class to complete these assignments, but students do have time to work on this if they finish their work early and also on Thursdays during Language Arts time if their other work is done. All that to say that it is a good idea to have it with them at school if they know they will have time to work on it :) Vocabulary p. 22 from Reading workbook is due 9/21

Spelling - p. 6 from workbook due 9/21 and test on Friday
