I apologize that you may receive this e-mail message twice.  I am trying to get everyone subscribed to the class blog.  But until I do I am going to send out an e-mail and a blog post which will be sent to your e-mail.  If you only receive only one, then you may need to subscribe to the e-mail list on the class blog. (see link below)  You may be receiving double e-mails of daily updates until I get everyone subscribed this week.


Great day of learning today.  We laughed and enjoyed the book Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing together.  We also practiced using our place value sliders to read large numbers.  In science, we learned the difference between Science and magic.  Ask you child about it.

Many students are having difficulty writing their name in cursive.  While cursive is a dying art, it is still required for signatures.  I sent home a sheet for your child to practice his/her signature tonight for homework.
