Week of Oct. 23

So you may have noticed that Red Ribbon Week is now all week long with FUN Activities!! Here is a picture of the daily breakdown... However on Friday please send your child in a Fall/Halloween type shirt so they will be ready for our Activity Day. :) 

I tried 4 times to get it to flip and the picture WOULD NOT cooperate. Sorry...

 Many of you still need to pay for the Field Trip to Amazing Grace Crop Maze- Payment will not be accepted after this Friday, October 27. So get your fund in!! If you still want to give a donation to the Halloween Activity Day please do. :) There's still time.  Our Resources for the week are: Mon- #1-17 P.E. & #18-36 COMPUTER LAB, Tues- #1-17 MUSIC (Broach) & #18-36 MEDIA and Wed- #1-17 COMPUTER LAB & #18-36 P.E. Wednesday is also an Early Release Day. Thursday we have a Library Visit from Noah Thomas. Friday We have our SUPER Halloween Activity Day and Makayla is bringing in Fun Friday Snacks! :) 

MATH

We are working on adding 1 MORE to a group. You may hear your child come home saying,  "2 and 1 more is 3, 5 and 1 more in 6, etc" This is great practice. It will really help us out in class.
Continue to practice discussing parts of a group and the whole group amount. Some students are having some difficulty understanding this concept. Also, make sure to review the Math Problem Sets that go home. :) 

SAXON

We are really focusing on coding and reading CVC words. Some of the students are having difficulty figuring out the words. So practice simple words like these: hop, lap, fat, cot, lag, etc.  We are also working hard at reading sight words!! We are in the second quarter and the goal is to read 40 Sight Words. :) 

READING/ SCIENCE
We are finishing up our module on the Five Senses and we will be taking the test at the end of the week. Please make sure your child knows the names of the five senses and can match it to the body part.  The students seem to do great with the body parts, but when asked questions like, "What body part do you use for smell?" they get very confused.
Next week we will begin the Stories Module and we will work on retelling stories with Beginning, Middle and Ending events. :)
