Happy October! I cannot believe we have almost been in school one month! Here are some important announcements:
Oct. 11: Zoo Field Trip (to the Detroit Zoo). The cost is six dollars for each child and chaperone. The permission slips are due this Friday. Let’s hope for good weather!
Operation School Bell was a HUGE success. Thanks to Mr. Awada, Mrs. Boussi, our wonderful support staff and teachers, and of course the volunteers at Operation School Bell. Each of our children carried a bag bigger than themselves filled with essentials and generous gifts home that day.
Book Bags: I very thoughtfully and purposefully choose books for each child to add to his/her reading collection (book bag). These books give students the opportunity to work on strategies ranging anywhere from basic word recognition to using known chunks (er,ing,) to solve words. If you ever have any questions about how to help your child with reading at home, please never hesitate to ask. I am committed to helping you help your child.
Science: We are learning that matter is everywhere and everything is made of matter. We are starting to look at properties of matter (size, shape, color, texture, etc). This week we plan to define and provide examples for the three types of matter: solids, liquids, and gases .
Social Studies: We are learning that rules provide order and safety. People with “power with authority” like police officers, principals, and presidents have the right to tell us what to do, but bullies do not. We are learning about what it takes to be a good citizen and contributing member of society.
Math: We will have a test this week. Here are the types of questions that they will be asked to answer: please click on the link below.
Language: We are learning how to “flip the sound” in reading, which means they have to try saying the vowel each way (long and short) when they get stuck on a word. This week, we will learn that nouns are words that name a person, place, or thing. We will keep working on contractions (she’s won’t, doesn’t, isn’t, here’s, ).
Writing: We are continuing to work on personal narratives. This week, we will write one about a time that we were “sad.”
Have a great weekend, and please never hesitate to ask any questions or voice any concerns.

Hi! I think I fixed it 🙂 I miss Malak so much! She is in Mrs. Harrison’s class now, so you can probably unsubscribe to my blog through your e-mail.
