Week of Oct. 24

This past week was a great one! On Friday the kids earned a whole class party for good behavior. They voted on a "Halloween" themed afternoon. We made creepy popcorn hands, painted for the beginning of an Eric Carle pumpkin art project and Mr. Graff came in and showed some bones (as he is in medical school) and taught them some bone names. They are big, hard words but the kids memorized a lot of them! I was impressed. See if your child remembers any of them from their tarsals to their cranium! :)

This coming week we will be focusing on the long i sound. We will also be learning about the -wh, -ch, and -tch digraphs. The high frequency words are live, out, people, who, and work.

In math we will be continuing learning about addition and subtraction on a number line and number grid, odd and even, and telling time to the half hour.


ON MONDAY YOUR CHILD WILL BE TAKING HOME A CONFERENCE PREPARATION FORM. It should be in their folder on Monday. It will have your conference date and time, as well as a form to fill out, preferably before conferences, so I can prepare and use the time to best serve your questions and concerns. Thank you!
