Happy Veterans Day. I hope everyone had a restful 4 day weekend. Monday off means a short week a head. Here is the scoop on what is happening for our short but busy week...
Math: We will conclude our unit on subtraction word problems and move into decomposition strategies for subtraction towards the end of the week.
ELA: We will be reading stories from our NatGeo series that focus on Needs and Wants, which will tie into our social studies unit of needs and wants and goods and services. Our spelling focus will be on ch, th, and tch words. Although we will only have 3 night of homework, I ask that you have your child do all 4 nights of spelling, which means that they will have to do two days of writing once this week.
Social Studies: We will be doing a lot in social studies the next couple of weeks. We will finish our Veterans Day lap books, wrap up our unit on Ancient Egypt, and begin needs and wants (though this will be a short unit).
Parent University: Thank you to all the families that attended parent university. I think room 9 had a pretty decent turn out rate, and I appreciate the efforts made by my families to work together to ensure the success of your child's education. Room 9 families rock!
Hot Cocoa and Stuffed Animal Party: Our class has earned a reward for good behavior. They voted and it was a tie between hot cocoa and stuffed animals. So I caved and told them they could do both at the same time! This Friday they can bring in their favorite stuffed animal to hang out with, and I will supply the hot cocoa to sip on! Let them know how proud you are of them for their good choices in classroom behavior!
Halloween Party: Thank you to everyone who brought in healthy treats for our Halloween party! The kids enjoyed every bit of it and we always appreciate donations. Mrs. Bianca (aka Sebastian's Mom) came in to help and it happened to be her birthday. Our sweet kiddos decided to sing happy birthday to her to celebrate! It was so cute and thoughtful. Here is a group shot of your students looking their festive best...
