Class Curriculum
I will be finishing up MClass assessments this week and begin our guided reading small groups!
Writer's Workshop - This week children will be introduced to their writing partners. Partnerships are developed on skill, level and temperament. Children will work together to challenge one another to add more details and revise their writing.
Math Workshop -We are continuing to build our understanding of place value. Our focus this week will be on creating groups of ten.
Social Studies - We will be exploring leaders in our community.
We will be working in the garden this week!
Tuesday we will be weeding.
The Zendejas family is very generously donating pallets of Fall vegetables for our learning garden. If you know Ralph and Tasha please tell them a BIG thank you!

Homework
Please jot a note in your child's agenda when you feel that your child is ready to be tested on their sight words. Children will be expected to be able to fluently read each sight word (not sounding out) but will not need to know how to spell each word. Words will be assessed in random order.
Homework is given on Mondays and expected to be turned in by the next Monday.
Although it is not mandatory at this time, Raz Kids and Dreambox are available for your use at home.
Field Trips
Sonia De Los Santos - Singer
Sonia was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico and since 2007 has been touring the world, singing in English and Spanish, playing guitar, mandolin, and jarana, and lighting up the stage with Grammy Award winning group Dan Zanes and Friends. In 2015 she released her first solo family music album titled Mi Viaje: De Nuevo León to the New York Island (Parents' Choice Foundation Gold Award Winner) a collection of songs that reflect her experiences growing up in Mexico, moving to another country, learning about other cultures, and in the process, feeling closer to her own heritage. Sonia has been hailed by Billboard as “one of the Latin Children’s music artists you should know.”
Looking ahead ... Oct.12th - Field trip to Patterson's Farm. Parents are invited to attend!
