Week of October 10th
Thank you so much for sending in change for CEF week!  We were able to raise a lot of money for our school!

No School Monday- Happy Columbus Day!

REPORT CARDS- Please return the signed card along with the envelope ASAP.  Thank you!

Looking ahead…  Storybook Character Day is Monday, October 31st.  Your child will need a book that goes along with his/her costume. No scary costumes or weapons, please. Make sure you have read the book to/with your child.  We will have a parade that you are invited to attend. (first thing in the morning) Then we’ll come back to the class and have presentations.  The children will introduce themselves, tell what they are dressed as, and share their favorite part of their book


This week…
In Math, we will:
·        continue learning about place value using base ten blocks- both identifying numbers and representing with tens and ones.
·        use clues to solve logic problems.
·        continue with our “Problem of the Day.”  The students read the problems and solve using pictures and number sentences.
  

In Language Arts, we will:
·        Reveal internal stories and work on effective story endings during Writer’s Workshop
·        continue with “Capitalization and Punctuation” practice. Each day the students are given a paragraph with no capitals or punctuation.  They are to decide where the periods and capitals go… We go over as a class.
·        learn to not tell a friend what a word is during reading (giving them a fish) Instead, we help our friends to use their strategies.  J
·         Sort words according to their spelling pattern
·        Read word family poems and discuss the rhyming words

Science- We are starting our plant unit.  We’ll learn about what plants need, parts of a plant, and their life cycle.  We’ll also learn about living and nonliving things.
