What We Are Doing:
Literacy: We will have our spelling test on Friday after the costume parade. Please have your child study for their spelling test this week. All the students are now working in reading groups and on comprehension strategies.
Math: This week we work on a birthday graph, work with symmetry and estimation.
Theme: The students brought their bodies home on Friday. Please have them point out the various body parts that they learned about and the function of each part on their body. This will help reinforce the concepts that we learned in the unit. This week we are starting our Native American unit.
Book Orders: Book orders are due today. If you still want to order, please order online today or turn in your book order form by tomorrow, October 28.
CSSI: The CSSI team completed their visit to the school. They will report to our school tonight at 7p.m. All are welcome to attend to learn more about our school.
Halloween: We are celebrating Halloween this Friday. All students may wear their costumes to school. Please make sure that your child’s costume follows our dress code. The students will parade around the school at 8:15a.m. You are welcome to join us and watch the parade in the gym. We will have a Halloween party at 1:30p.m. Half-day students are welcome to stay the whole day so that they can enjoy our party. We will have a spooktacular day!
Field Trip: We visited Mazotti’s pumpkin farm last Tuesday. The students learned about how to grow pumpkins and the various types of pumpkins that the farm grows. They also sat in a tipi and learned how the Native Americans used gourds for tools. Finally, they learned to suck Indian corn and how the Native American’s used Indian corn. We had so much fun at the farm. We were lucky that we had a beautiful day.
