Here's what coming up....


Halloween: Come and join us on the lower playground for our Halloween Parade 10:35-10:50 and our classroom party from 11:30-1:15...


Language Arts: We will enjoy two new stories from our Houghton Mifflin Reading Series; Pearl's First Prize Plant and Bud's Day Out.  The strategy focus for each is monitoring and clarifying. We will continue to focus on the elements of a story; beginning, middle, end, problem and solution.

Phonics: We will learn new phonograms this week as we go through our Total Reading Program. Please look for your child's work each day and have fun going on phonogram hunts as you read your together each night. So far we have learned: sh, th, ee, er, ch, ck, wh, ea, ow, ou

Word Wall Words: Here is the list of the current words on our word wall.(see below) It is a great idea to make a word wall or use flashcards at home to help your child master the reading of these words. We will add 5 more word each week so knowing these is very important.

Writing: We will continue our school wide writing program, Writing Workshop, working on our narrative pieces. We are finishing up the publishing phase and when that is done, we will enter into the last phase, celebration which will happen next Thursday with our Big Buddies!

Grammar: We will work on writing complete sentence making sure that each sentence has a noun,  a verb, begins with a capital letter and ends with the correct punctuation.

Math: We will work in Unit 3 Module 2 in our Bridges Math Program where the focus is again on addition and subtraction facts. The number rack will be used to help students recognize number combinations, up to 10, find the sum of two numbers, and compare two numbers to find the difference between them. Bridges Unit 3

Reminder: Our Rio Book Fair is the week of parent conferences. We hope you will plan on doing some shopping and supporting our school!
