Field Trip
We have been invited today to go to City High on Wednesday morning to view a 30 minute preview of their Charlotte's Web production. We will walk to City High. A permission slip is being sent home today, please sign it and return it tomorrow if possible! I am sorry for the late notice in sending, but we were just invited today and I think the class will love it!
Conferences
Our conferences are quickly approaching! I will send a conference reminder note home later this week. Please let me know if the time no longer works for you and we can find an alternate time, thank you!
Curriculum Updates
Language Arts- Last week in language arts we read the story Super Storms and discussed main idea and detail. We focused on this in small groups as well. We also wrote informational paragraphs about a type of storm. This week, we will read the folktale How Chipmunk Got His Stripes. Our comprehension skill will be understanding characters. Our phonics and spelling focuses on -ed and -ing endings.
Math- We will finish our fourth topic this week and will take our written assessment at the end of the week on two-digit addition strategies. The students have done a great job with this! Next week we will move on to subtracting within 100 using subtraction strategies.
Social Studies- We finished up our science unit and will be focusing on social studies until our next science kit arrives in December. The past few weeks we have been studying maps and map skills and playing some fun games. Next we will move on to geography and landforms.
Halloween
Tomorrow is our Halloween parade and party! Students should not bring any weapons or face paint. Parents may start coming at 2:00 to help children get into their costume if needed. Our parade starts at 2:15 and we will have our party with snacks after that.
