Grandparent's Day for MY CLASS will be Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 8:30-9:30.
- We will be presenting a reader’s theater, viewing their grandparent Google Slide presentations, touring our classroom and visiting the book fair.
- Please let grandparent’s know that they should not arrive until after 8:15 so that the buses are out of the parking lot and parking spaces are available and students are finished with breakfast in the cafeteria.
- Grandparents should report to the cafeteria and we will meet them there at 8:30.
- A friendly reminder that we are not able to accommodate grandparents for lunch on that day. We welcome them to eat with us at another time.
- If your child’s grandparents are unable to attend, they may invite a special guest in their place: aunt or uncle, friend or a parent. We would like for every child to have at least 1 guest on Friday.
Book It Program: Keep reading for 20 min. each night!
Jackets Needed!
Please send a sweatshirt or jacket with your child to wear during morning recess. It is still very chilly at 10:30 when we go outside. Thank you!
Book Fair is coming!
Mrs. Frank will be holding our annual Scholastic Book Fair November 7-1. Students may bring money to purchase items from the book fair any day of the week. They will be able to shop during 1st recess time, with the exception of Friday when they can shop during their library time. Students may also shop with their grandparents on Thursday. Please send money in an envelope or baggie with their name on it. Thank you!
Reading
This week we are working on identifying story elements (characters, setting, problem, solution) in Fairy Tales. We read many different fairy tales and talked about the elements that make it a fairy tale. We continue to review skills from the past units (main idea/ details, characterization, multiple meaning words, synonyms, etc.)
Reading Homework: Back to normal- practice the sight words and read the fluency passage each night. Return the fluency passage on Friday for it to count toward your child's reading grade.
Math
- comparing 3 digit numbers
- explaining in words how you know a number is greater than, less than or equal to another number.
English and Writing
In English we were introduced to adverbs and preposistions and how to identify them in a sentence. We learned that adverbs answer the questions how, when, and where, many times they end in -ly and they tell more about the verb in the sentence. We also reviewed adjectives.
Spelling Words
hurt church curl burn turn
fur nurse turtle turkey picture
capture mixture fixture lecture nature
pasture sure mature curb injure
