Notes and News

Dear Families,

If you prefer a paper copy of the newsletter, please let me know. Otherwise, in the future, I would like to use the blog as our newsletter. I’ve not heard from anybody yet preferring a paper copy. Beginning in November, paper copies will no longer be sent home unless requested.

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.

We will have a Hat Day celebration on Friday, October 25th as a school wide celebration!

Scholastic orders will be submitted on October 25th. The code to order online is L922Y.

Next week's specials are:
Monday: Counselor (and Library Check-Out)

Tuesday: Art
Wednesday: Music
Thursday: PE (wear tennis shoes!)
Friday: Counselor (and Library Check-Out)
 

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.

WRITING

This week in writing we are working on re-writing and retelling our stories so we can go to the computer lab and publish them. We all have to write our stories that we are going to publish on a piece of notebook paper so we have a copy to take to the computer lab. When we finish are writing assignment for the day we can free write which means we can write about anything or do school mail. The published writing might be finished in time for scoop night so parents can come and see it. All the students in our class want to have their writing in scoop night. We are working on our cursive k, l, h, and t

READING

This week in reading we got new reading group books. We get non-fiction books this time. After we get our reading group books we have to read the chapters Miss Baxter tells us to and then we write facts and important information in our reading response journals. When we are done with all of that we get to read to self or read to partner. You can sit where ever you want around the room and some people have cushions and pillows.

MATH

In math this week we are learning how multilpulcation works. We have groups of three and four and were making number strips with counting by tens, nines, eights, sevens, six’s, fives, fours, threes twos, and ones on recit tape. “Oh” and we even have to write observations in our math journals about what we see when all of our strips are layed out.

BIRTHDAYS

This week we had a lot of birthdays which means a lot of CUPCAKES “YAY”. There was Sariah’s birthday and Kyleigh’s birhhday, and Daniella’s birthday.
So that was what made the classes whole week because everyone likes cupcakes. Plus some of the cupcakes tasted like brownies and some people like brownies better than cupcakes. Also Sariahs cupcake icing seemed like it was coconut icing even though some icing just tastes like that

SIENCE

For sience we are learing about force , motion, and friction. So we do experiments and watch videos on small machines. We all have a packet were we put our questions and our answers to our questions when we’re done with our experiment.
