Fall is in full swing and I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather!

Here’s what planned for this week…

READING-We will begin Unit 2  FRIENDS.  This week’s theme is Learning About Friends.

Our new letter is S  s and our word of the week is like.

WRITING-Our focus will be on writing sentences.  This will include:

beginning with a capital letter

spaces between words

punctuation at the end

You can work with this at home.  All sentences need to make sense.  Have your child give you sentences using one of our words.  like   “We like riding bikes.”

All previous words should be known words now.  They should know how to read, spell, and write the words.  (  I  Can   can   We  we  The  the  am)  Now add like to their list of known words.

MATH-Teen Numbers   These can be tricky!  Again, you can work with this at home.

Looking ahead…

HALLOWEEN-October 31, 2014  We will have an All-School Parade  outside on the track in the afternoon.  Time TBA  Students will bring their costume in a bag on Friday, Oct 31.  Do NOT come to school in costume on that Friday.  They will change into their costume after lunch.  If you are able to pick up your child at lunch (11:25) to go home and dress, that would be great!  You should have them back by 1:00 pm.  That would give you a little extras time too.  No scary costumes or full face masks.  Bring your camera to the parade…they are really cute!!

Keep up your nightly reading logs and calendars.  The students are building up their reading stamina and read for 15 minutes one day last week!!  Keep it up readers!

Enjoy the week.
