Lost and Found
If your child is missing an item (coat, lunchbox, etc.), please remind him/her to check the lost and found table located in the cafeteria. Many lost items are piling up just waiting to be found!

We Are Learning...
Reading
Next week in reading we will focus on informational text. Students will learn that when reading informational text, they may need to approach their reading differently! We will discuss that the author and illustrator of an information book may be an expert and it trying to teach the reader something new! We will learn to become experts on topics and we will learn to use more than one text about a topic to learn the most we can!
Writing
We are busy working on opinion writing! This week we worked on thinking about and adding as much detail to our writing as possible. We then discussed what makes a good introduction, and created many different introductions to try with our opinion pieces. We will be working toward publishing our opinion writings before Thanksgiving Break!
Word Study
Math
We will continue our focus on addition with and without regrouping up until Thanksgiving Break!
