I  hope you had a great weekend and were able to enjoy the beautiful weather today.  I am hoping the weather stays sunny and cool so we an enjoy our recess time this week.  As Halloween is approaching, please make sure you send healthy snacks to school for your child, even during lunch. The treats they get on Tuesday will make a great dessert after dinner :)  

Here is our week of learning at a glance:

Reading Workshop-    We will begin to work on inferencing. We will use information from the text, plus our background knowledge to infer what the author is saying in nonfiction texts.  

Writing Workshop-  We have taken one piece of writing through the writing process!  My plan is to have the students share their writing this week with the class with an Author Celebration!  

Science/ Social Studies-  This week we will begin our unit on magnets.  

Math-   We will continue our unit on measurement.  Towards the end of the week, we will begin our unit on time! If your child has  an analog watch ( with the minute hand/ hour hand) please allow your child to wear their watch to school. We will practice telling time all throughout the day!

Class Celebrations:    We want to wish Arial a very Happy Birthday! We hope your day was special! Our Star of the Week  is Hudson!  We will share his poster on Monday!  Congratulations to Ella! She lost another tooth!

Class News:  We are in need of more toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls!  Please continue sending those in with your child. On Friday, we made guitars and we used these for our guitar handles. We can always use duct tape and blue tape as well!  Thanks for all you do to help our STEAM activities!

Have a great week!
