Hope you had a good fall break! We sure enjoyed ours! This will be another short week for the children because of conferences. Remember they are out on Friday. The kids will be bringing home a reminder of your time for conferences tomorrow or Wednesday. We will be very busy as usual this week. Here is what is on the agenda:
Math- double bar graphs, line plots, line graphs, daily math review
Reading- literature circles -they finished their books, now they are making book posters
Science- geology- we made crystals today, we will explore the 3 types of rocks, and look at weathering and erosion
English- friendly letters, adjectives, daily language review
Spelling- souds of "a"
Remember that Wednesday is Pumpkin Day! Your child will need to bring a pumpkin to school (as little as an apple, or as big as she or he can hold). We will be doing math, reading, science, and art related to pumpkins on Pumpkin Day. It would be nice if your child could bring an orange colored snack to share with the class that day too!
Payday went well with the kids last Wednesday. After paying rent and any fines they may have had, they got to visit the store and the bank. They had to decide how much they wanted to spend and how much they wanted to save. I have learned a lot about your children through this process. Hopefully, they are learning a lot about themselves, and maybe the real world too! They were very cute! It is fun to watch. The next payday will be November 20th........talk about delayed gratification.
This is Red Ribbon Week. Tomorrow is crazy hat day, Wednesday is backwards day, and Thursday is crazy sock day! This would be a good time to talk to your children about the dangers of drugs. I am a firm believer about keeping an open dialogue going between you and your child on tough choices he or she may face in his or her future. Research tells us that the communication we have with our children plays a key role in the choices they make.
