Picture day on Wednesday!

     Remember we will have fall pictures on October 22.  All kids will be getting their picture taken so make sure they look cute even if you are not ordering pictures. If you plan on ordering pictures be sure to send your money and form to school or order online.
     All of first grade will have bus safety on October 23.  We will get to practice exiting a bus through the back door.  Whoopee!
     The Pumpkin Patch party is this Friday.  The kids love this event.  They can come and show off their costumes.  Mom and Dads can too, if they like.  Tickets are $5 and will be on sale this week. Adults and children under 3 are free!  I hope to see you Friday at the party.
     We will be wrapping up our Lead 21 Unit 1 this week.  Our focus question this week is "What do families do together?"  We will continue to focus on making inferences.
     In spelling, we will focus on short o words.  We will have a test on Friday.  Don't forget to practice, practice, practice!  During writer's workshop we will be focusing on writing informational sentences about bats.
     Math gets more difficult this week.  We are working on missing addend as an unknown subtraction problem.  This is a very tough skill, so we will spend the entire week on it.
     Enjoy the warm weather!  Hopefully we get to keep it for a while!

Wishing you well!
