Welcome Back!





I hope you had a great, relaxing spring break! I went to Boston, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and even Canada! I'll have to post pictures later... (I keep saying that... We don't have a program to upload photos on our older computers but I'll find something soon.)

Today we worked on synonyms and antonyms. I found some games online by going to Google and searching "synonym online game". The links we played today can be found here:

On benchmarks we will have questions like, "What is a synonym for ______" and "What is an antonym for ______" so this may be something you continue practicing.

Also, we have the four homeworks as usual.

1-Reading Homework "Ana's Great Day"
2-Home reader read twice by your child to you, who initials each time
3-Spelling activity
4-Language arts "What I did on my Spring Break"

Social Studies:
We are starting United States symbols for this week. We'll be going over the American flag and how it's changed since 1776 as well as the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Bell, and more. For additional information and a tricky game try these sites:
