I hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful weekend   Jackets will now need to be worn to school from what the weatherman says.

Today is Picture Day All money or checks need to be in the envelope sent home. 

The PTA Pumpkin Patch will be this Friday. Money can still be sent in if you haven’t done so already.

A note is coming home today about Halloween costumes. The party will be at the end of the day Halloween, Oct. 31 after the school wide parade. Wrapped candy, treats or healthy treats are welcome.

This week’s Spelling words focus on s clusters–slide, skin, skip, step, spell. Dolch words are: best, came, you, new, help

We are learning about onomatopoeia as our reading skill this week. Those are words an author uses to describe sounds, ex. crash, bang, whizz.  We’ll be reading some poems and looking for sound words in our stories.

We’re finishing up our opinion writing and will be bringing home our best for now, finished writing for you to read and respond to. Look for that Wednesday or Thursday.

We’re also finishing up our first social studies unit about communities.

Math will finish up with reviewing open number lines and missing addends before our computation and unit test later in the week.

Science continues with properties of matter and this week we’re exploring changes and phases of matter. This can be done by observing water both frozen and melted but we’ll be observing candy melting instead   Much for fun before Halloween!

Enjoy the week!
