Happy Monday 🙂
Students who came to Social Studies Night last week had a chance to vote on some topics. One was for having Pajama Day tomorrow and Orange and Black day Wednesday. But please make sure your child is wearing gym shoes and is dressed for outside recess.
1/2 Day Friday Nov. 1. School dismisses at 11:45. No lunch will be served.
I hope your child gave you the note from Mrs. Srour about Halloween. You can send in the money for the pumpkin patch activity any day but please by Thursday. This is an optional activity. Any bags of candy can also be brought or sent in by Thursday for the PTA parade. This candy will be passed out to all students as they walk throughout the school. We will not be having class party–the parade takes the place of the party so please send in candy so we have enough for all HF students. Please call the office if you have any questions.
We will begin a new 3 week reading unit about characters facing challenges and how they are solved. We’ll also be writing a personal narrative about a problem we had and the lesson learned.
The spelling focus this week is on long o spelled -oa, -ow, -o: float, soap, roast, loaf, grow, bowl, throw, both, going, cold. Due to the half day, we’ll just have a word test this week.
Our writing skill this week, in addition to a personal narrative is to continue comparing 2 fairy tales and write an opinion using evidence from the texts.
We’ll begin exploring maps and learning more about our community and where it is in our next social studies unit.
For math, we continue reading and writing numbers within 1000 and will now use money and coins to count.
