Working hard in reading group

Hi families,

I hope you're having a nice weekend! I'm home this evening so I thought I would get a head starting with sharing this info.  The students had a blast at the Harvest Party! It was nice to see so many familiar faces at our evening harvest party too.  

Here is what we are getting into this week:

 In Language Arts, we will:

* work on the following sight words- to, on, & like.

* we will continue working on story elements this week as we read fiction stories. We will discuss characters, problem, solution and retell the sequence of events. 

* October reading calendars are due on October 31st. 

 

In Science, we will:

* finish up our five senses by learning about taste.

* continue learning about matter by determining if an object sinks or floats.  

 

In Writing, we will: 

* use our sense to describe and write about what a pumpkin looks like, feels like, smells like, and sounds like. 

* We will continue to practice forming letters, generating ideas, and making our writing fancy (speech bubbles, adding details, writing more, labels, etc.)

In Math, we will:

* continue matching numeral to quantity 

* compare sets by using the terms more or less.

***Cold Temperatures***

Please make sure you are sending a jacket or coat with your child to school everyday. Our classroom can be chilly and we go outside as long as it is 32 degrees or warmer. If it is colder then 32 degrees we have indoor recess. 

***Reading Baggies***

Please remember to send reading bags back to school each day.  We use these resources during our guided reading groups.  Thanks!

***Cereal Boxes***

Just a quick reminder to send an empty cereal box to school for your student's cubbie.  We are using them to organize center work.  So far, it is working very well.  If you do not have a cereal box, please let me know.  I have been collecting them at home.
