Making Predictions

One of our reading comprehension strategies we worked on last week was "making predictions". Good readers make predictions before, during, and after reading. We stopped halfway through the story Too Many Pumpkins to predict what Rebecca Estelle was going to do with all the pumpkins. We had some great predictions..."sell them", "make pumpkin pie", "give them to friends" etc. 

Please practice making predictions as you read with your child at home. Ask questions such as "What do you think this book is going to be about?"and "What do you think will happen next?"

Math Fun

A big part of Everyday Math is playing games to practice the skills we are learning. Here's just a glimpse of some of the games we've been playing lately.

Springdale Sprint



After much anticipation, the Springdale Sprint finally arrived. The weather was perfect and we had so much fun walking and/or running to the music with our friends. We loved seeing Mr. Greutzner in his spiffy jaguar suit and our very own Isaiah participate in the silly string battle. Thanks to all the parents who raised money and came to cheer us on. Here are just a few photos from the event. You can find many more on the Springdale PTO  Facebook page.
