Article
Our new principal, Tom Whitford, posted this article on his Twitter feed and I found it quite interesting. It discusses memorization and/or practice of things like cursive and multiplication facts. As you know, our new math series spends a lot of time working with the students on memorizing their math facts. We also do cursive when we can squeeze it and do read aloud every day during our milk and snack break.
Here is the article: Time - Why Kids Should Learn Cursive

Games
The game this week is a style of game they have played in the room before. It's a comprehension practice for the story we read this week, Rosie, A Visiting Dog's Story. There is also a link to a National Geographic page that shows some other jobs that dogs have.

Have a great weekend! Go Panthers!
