Happy Monday!
     We are off to a fast and furious start! It's hard to believe that we have been in school for over a month!
     We will have our first math test this week. I think it will be either Thursday or Friday. We will have a review day before the test as there is a lot of material to cover. Last week, students were introduced to MobyMax, which is a website where students can practice math. It has other subject areas as well, but for right now we are focusing on the math portion. They have username and login that was provided at school.
     For reading, our focus this week will be Main Idea. We are moving on to our next Book Club session. Students were able to choose from a group of books which one they would like to read next. They will be reading the same book as 3-4 other classmates and be assigned a role for each day. The kids have done a nice job so far. My plan is to alternate between Book Club and a project throughout the year.
    In Social Studies, we started planning for our school-wide election. Our class will be in charge of setting up and running the mock election in our school. This week, we will decide on jobs and what materials may be needed. They are so excited and have many great ideas. Our focus for the election is to learn about the process of becoming President.
   Bemidji School District is participating in "One District, One Book." This will be introduced to kids today and will receive a copy of "The World According to Humphrey." Information on the activity will be sent home, and from what I have gathered, it is a family activity-- Have fun with it!!
   As always, the spelling words are posted on the website, and a copy has been sent home.
Have a great week!
