The Fall Festival is finally here! I hope to see all my friends and their family Thursday for some food, fun, and fellowship! It begins at 4:30 and ends at 7:30. There will be games, candy, music and good food. If you did not buy an early bird wristband they will be available for purchase at the gate. The PTA has worked very hard to make this happen so let’s show our support and don’t forget to wear your t-shirt!
In Reading, we will be discussing the letter “t” as in “turkey” but will focus on spiders as it is getting close to Halloween. We decided to save “turkey” for when it gets closer to Thanksgiving! Make sure to practice those word wall words and read your homework stories each night! A word wall word assessment will be given on Friday for a reading daily grade.
In Language, we will be discussing Rule 4 {The names of specific places begin with capital letters.} Remember to go over their DOL sentences each night and talk about the new rule. As you are out and about this week, have your children notice the names of places and restaurants that begin with a capital letter.
In Math, we will test on Ch. 3 and move right into Ch. 4 on Tuesday. Chapter 4 will focus on Subtraction Strategies. You may have noticed a set of doubles flashcards in your child’s take home folder. I challenged the students to memorize them and recall them to me for a small prize. :)
Nancy’s Italian Ice is Monday for $1.00. Library Day will be Tuesday so remind your child to pack his or her library book so they can return it for a new one. If you have not already turned in your money and permission slip for our first fieldtrip to the Pumpkin Patch, please do so. And remember to let me know if you plan to attend as a chaperone. I will probably assign groups so that I can walk around and capture all the fun times and memories being made! :)
