Week of Monday, November 2nd!

I hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween!  Thanks again to all the parents and volunteers, as well as everyone who sent items in for the class party!  We really appreciate it!  Make sure to click on "Albums" on the right side of the blog to view all the Halloween party pictures!
 
We will continue with Unit 3 Week 2 in our Reach series for reading.  We will keep the same vocabulary words from last week but work on multiple meaning words.  This skill will still be tested on our regular vocab. test day, Thursday.  In phonics we will focus on long o and i.  We will work on sequencing and following steps in a procedure for reading comprehension.  We will incorporate a science experiment with our reading about the water cycle to help us with this skill!  Even though this is a shortened week, students will still bring home their books on Thursday and have their spelling and reading test on Friday!
 
We will be completing our Chapter 3 study guides in math on Monday.  They will be bringing them home so they can study all week!  Their Chapter 3 math TEST will be Friday.  Please make sure to look over their math papers to see if they need extra practice at home.  Subtraction with regrouping is a very important skill that needs to be mastered!
 
We have a lot to do in such a short time!  I know we can do it!
 
***Reminders!***
Please make sure to send your child in with a jacket!  The weather is getting cooler and many of them are getting cold at recess!
 
No School on Tuesday, November 3rd for students!   Don't forget to vote!
 
THURSDAY, November 5th- THANKSGIVING LUNCH!  There will be NO alternative lunches, so no salads, pizza, or pb &j!  Just the Thanksgiving lunch!  Flyers went home last week!  If your child does not want the Thanksgiving lunch, they will need to pack!
 
Have a great week! :)
