October 4th - October 9th

What We Are Learning

Reading: This week we learned about character traits.  We used adjectives to describe characters on the inside and the outside.

Writing: In writing this week we really focused on revising and editing our nonfiction chapter books.  I have been so impressed with how much effort everyone has been using.  Ask your child what topic they have chosen to write about.

Math: This week in math we continued to learn about attributes of 2D shapes. Ask your child about how to play the game Guess My Rule.

Theme:  Your child learned about Veteran’s Day.  We incorporated math and writing while learning about this important holiday. We created a soldier using only 2D shapes and brainstormed adjectives that describe veterans.

Prize Box

Our prize box is pretty depleted these days. We are in desperate need of individually wrapped candy, stickers, tattoos, small toys, etc. If you would be willing to donate any of these items, your generosity would be GREATLY appreciated!   

Headphones Needed

We are very lucky to have 5 iPads in our classroom.  Your child has access to these devices on a daily bases. Because they are used so often, we are in need of some good quality headphones that will be able to withstand being used so frequently.  If you would be willing to donate some headphones to our classroom, your generosity would be GREATLY appreciated!

Word Wall Words

Please practice reading, writing, and spelling our Word Wall Words. 

This week’s word wall words:

ball, as, be, by, & day

Last week’s word wall words:

had, they, will, too, & all

Fall Weather

Fall weather is on its way!  Please make sure your child is properly dressed for outside recess. We will go out every day as long as the weather is 32 degrees or above and the wind-chill is 25 degrees or above. There is a strong wind that blows across the playground.  Your child needs to have a jacket so they can enjoy recess comfortably!
