October 23, 2016

Thank you all so much for your help and support over the last two months of school! The kindness and generosity I have received has been incredible! Working with your children each and every day is truly a joy and a blessing. Thank you so much for all you do! I hope that you have a wonderful week ahead!

Parent/Teacher Conferences 
Parent/Teacher conferences are this week! Please contact me as soon as possible if you have not yet scheduled a conference and are interested in meeting. I look forward to meeting with you soon! 

This week we played a fun cup stacking game in math centers
 to practice our doubles and near doubles facts!


Elect to Read!
Thank you so much for your participation in the Elect to Read, school wide reading incentive program! This week marks the fourth and final week of our program! Keep up the great work!!!

Math
This week in math we will begin Topic 4 in our curriculum, which focuses on working with equal groups!

During our share time of morning meeting this week, Kayla shared that she cut her hair to donate! Way to go Kayla! Your thoughtfulness, compassion and bravery inspire us all! 

Literacy 
In Literacy we will be starting our second unit of study, which focuses around the essential question, “How can we work together?” This week we will be reading the story, Tara and Tiree by Andrew Clements and discussing the weekly question, “What can we do in a dangerous situation?” We will also discuss the genre of Narrative Nonfiction, practice reading words with r-Controlled ar, or, ore, review the comprehension skill of sequencing and apply the comprehension strategy of predicting. 

While our field trip was postponed on Friday, that didn't stop us from having a fun-filled day! Thank you to Ms. Hanley, Mrs. Kirby and Mrs. Pacillo for helping us with science centers! (I will let you know as soon as a new field trip date has been confirmed! Be on the lookout soon!) :)
