What We Have Been Doing
Theme
This week we will continue our unit on space. We will focus on our planet and the moon phases. We will also talk about Venus. Remember the moon book homework is due on Friday. We are studying Native Americans in theme, as well. We will read Rainbow Crow this week. We will also finish our poems on color. You can see our wonderful work in the windows or on the bulletin board in the hallway by the end of this week.
Math
For math we will be working on an introduction to calculators this week. We will also start adding and subtracting using manipulatives. The students are definitely ready for this step!
We are also assessing Reading and Writing this week. I will be busy measuring the growth each student has made in the past couple of months.
Gala
The Gala is on Saturday. I hope you all bought tickets to go! Remember child care is provided. It is $15 dollars which will include pizza, dessert and a drink. I hope to see you all there!
Book Orders
Book orders will be sent home later this week. They are due on November 16. There will be great Holiday books in the catalogs. I will also send you a sheet that Scholastic made that shows what reading level some of the books are at.
Thank You!
Thank you so much for your help with the Halloween party. The students had a great time!
Also, thank you for sending in your contributions to our classroom basket for the Gala. It will be fun to see how much we earn for the fundraiser! Thank you so much!!
Veteran's Day
Don't forget we won't have school on Monday, November 12 to observe Veteran's Day.
Have a wonderful week!
