A Few Notes and Reminders

Hello!

Allison worked hard on our weekly update about what we've done in class (see below) but there are a few things I wanted to make sure to make note of.

Please help your child get into the routine of reading nightly, logging it on their reading log, and returning the reading log to school each Friday. Every Friday, a new one will be sent home. This will be our main homework for the time being.

The start bell for school sounds at 8:20. Please try to make sure your child is at school on time. We have a number of kids who are late almost every day. It makes it extremely difficult to get our day started right away when I must regive directions each time a student comes in late.

Next week is the Make a Difference canned food drive! Bring non-perishable items to the commons.

Scholastic orders will be submitted on October 25th.

Next week's specials are:
Monday: PE (wear tennis shoes!)
Tuesday: Counselor (and Library Check-Out)
Wednesday: Art
Thursday: Music
Friday: PE (wear tennis shoes!)

Starting this past Monday (October 7th) students without Office Referrals during the first trimester will get to take part in a game day at the end of the trimester. I'd love it if all 24 of us get to participate!

Our Celebration of Books will be on October 31st. Students may dress up on that day as a book character. Costumes must be school appropriate and may not include masks, gore, props or weapons, hair paint, or face paint. Your child must be comfortable to wear it all day as there will not be time to change during the day. More information will be coming about the fun activities we will be doing that day.

Lastly, a GIGANTIC thank you to everybody that helped out with Fun Fest in any way. I was able to walk around a little bit and it looked like the kids were having a blast. Our basket looked fabulous. And none of it could have happened without your help, donations, and time and energy, so THANK YOU!

      THIS WEEKS UPDATE!                       

                 

                        READING

  In reading we read Hiking the Appalachian trail and we talked about what the main details are and sumerising after a good stopping point and where those stopping places might be.

                        WRITING

for writing we are still working on our “seed” idea and picking a good lead to hook a reader in and make them want  to read it and not lose interest. For cursive we are practicing overhill strokes, uphill strokes and getting ready for real cursive.

                        MATH

In math we finished up subtraction and started multiplication and looked at what multiplication is. We have been working in groups of three or four and wrote what different ways we can solve problems.

and that was our week!:)
