No school Tuesday Nov. 7 due to it being Election Day.

Parent/Teacher conferences begin this Thursday. If you don’t remember the day or time you are signed up for, please email me and I’ll get back to you.

This week’s spelling words focus on the long I sound: try, cry, pie, tie, wild. The Dolch words: my, fly, by, why, write

Our focus in reading and writing continues to be informational/non fiction. This focus’s on facts and finding the correct information in the text we are reading.

Math will begin lessons on telling time on a “regular wall clock” not digital to the nearest 5 minutes. Any help at home with clocks of those types will help your child immensely. I know many of us rely on digital clocks but beginning learners need to understand why it’s 10:20 for example–20 minutes after 10. AM–morning, PM–after 12:00 noon.

Maps will be studied in social studies and Earth science will be our new topic for science. Both water and landforms will be studied so that ties in very nicely with maps.

Enjoy your week and I look forward to seeing all of you at conferences either this week or next.
