Brrr!

What a great 4 day weekend! I spent Thursday and Friday learning and connecting with teachers from across the state.

Your conference preference sheet will come home in the Wednesday folder.  Please fill out and return by Friday.  Thanks!

  

On Thursday, we have bus safety in the morning and our field trip to the pumpkin patch in the afternoon.  Please be sure to send your child's permission slip back to school before Thursday.  The field trip costs $4.00.  If you are unable to pay the $4.00 please contact me so we can work something out.

This week we have been working on words with short /o/ and start our DRAs to see how much each student has grown in reading since the beginning of the year. Remember to send your child with a full stomach and plenty of sleep so they can do their best! In math, we'll continue reviewing addition strategies, 3 addend word problems, and start learning about related facts. Ex. 6+4=10  10-6 =4 We will start preparing for our end-of-the-quarter assessments. Where has the time gone?! Has your child been practicing Xtra Math?  It really helps when they have fluency with their math facts.  Most concepts are built upon math facts. 

Parent teacher conference information will be in your child's folder on Wednesday.  Please be sure to fill out your preferences for day and time and get it sent back to school.

You child is still working on their personal narratives. This week we will talk about verbs and speech bubbles. They will love the speech bubbles. 

Your child has been making predictions about fiction and non-fiction books.  They get clues from the cover and the pages inside.  Then we read the book and they modify their predictions.  

Next week is Red Ribbon week.  Each day we celebrate being drug free by wearing different things.

Check out the Important Dates on my blog so your child can participate. 

Save the date!  October 30th is the Pumpkin Patch Party!  The kids love this event.  Look for the flyer in you child's folder. 

Just a suggestion!  Now is the time to buy snow boots!  The first snow always surprises us.  It is good to have them on hand and once it does snow, the boots in the store disappear quickly.  

Have a great week!
