Half Day Tomorrow and Spelling Test!

Half Day Tomorrow! School will be dismissed at 11:10.

I have reposted the spelling message I sent earlier this week.  Good luck tomorrow my Superstars!!

Spelling Words for test on Friday, November 4

Just a quick reminder that I will be changing the words. An example of this strategy is the Dolphins have the word lock. I might ask them to spell the word block, flock, sock, etc. I may also give them a nonsense word for the word lock. I might say if you can spell lock then you can spell the nonsense word (made up word to see if they know the spelling pattern) vock. Good luck my Superstars!

Spelling Pattern- Long O and Short O
CVC o-e and CVC o

Sharks-op family
bop, cop, hop, mop, pop, sop, top, stop

Dolphins
fox, lock, poke, pip, cone, hop, hope, joke, box, bone

Penguins
remote, awoke, drove, spoke, alone, wrote, whole,
expose, enclose, suppose

big, dig, fig, gig, jig, pig, rig, wig

Halloween Parade!

We are having a Halloween Parade and you are welcome to join us!

When: Monday, October 31st at 2:00

Where: Track around the playground (Cafeteria in bad weather)

Students may bring costumes (no masks, weapons, or clown costumes). Students will change into their costumes after lunch, so please do not send them wearing it in the morning.

Also, on Halloween, students will be participating in some Halloween learning activities.  They will switch between the 3 second grade classrooms.  Your child does not need to bring a snack on that day because they will be making it and then eating it….yum, yum!  I know it will be a great day of learning and fun for everyone!

If anyone would like to volunteer to help me run stations in our classroom, please let me know.  I would need your help from 9:00-10:15 and from 1:15-2:00.  Then you can stay and enjoy the parade!

Bonus Question for a Special Treat!

Create a Double Bubble Thinking Map on the back of your math assignment or on a blank piece of paper.  You need to compare and contrast two different communities.  You must have at least 3 similarities and 3 differences.  If you have more…..awesome!  Remember we created one in the hallway!  Good luck:)

Here are your choices (you only have to choose 1)

  • Suburban and Rural
  • Suburban and Urban

Do you want to see your child working at school?

I sent home a white paper with your child’s name on it and the directions to download the Seesaw app on your phone.  Once you do this, you can see video and pictures anytime I post your child working at school. It is really a cool thing!  I posted in your child’s folder (Seesaw app gives your child a folder) a video of them working today and a picture of the finished project!  You really do want to see it because they did an awesome job today and your kids will love to see themselves, too!  Thanks to all the parents who have signed up for it!  Have a fantastic weekend:)
