Week ending 10/31/14

Hi Families!
Can you believe October is over already?  I'm amazed that 2 months and 42 days have gone by already!  I'm also amazed how much we've learned and applied in those 42 days!

Important information:
*Thanks to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to come in with your child to meet about their progress.   
*Thanks to everyone who was able to help with the pumpkin activity!  It's not a hard job but the more hands to help, the easier it is for the kids.  
*Thank you to those the brought in tissues and a new pencil sharpener this week!  Both were badly needed and I appreciate your donations.
*This week I sent home a sheet with a passcode for Xtramath.  Please start practicing your facts this way at least 2 times a week.  The more they practice the more automatic the facts are.  If the computer or iPad isn't for your child, please begin using flash cards.
*Tuesday, November 11, there is no school for Veteran's Day.  
*Looking ahead, there is an early dismissal on November 26, a Wednesday at 12:00 (not 12:30) and no school the 27th or 28th.  

3, 2, 1 things you should know…

3 skills we worked on this week were: telling details about the problem and solution of a read aloud and our own just right book, how to make change when paying at a vegetable stand, and how to make, read, and interpret a tally chart, pictograph, and bar graph.

2 skills we looked at in social studies were landforms and landmarks of the United States.  Ask your child to tell you about 1 landmark and 1 landform we discussed in class.

1 very important thing we think you should know is we had fun decorating the pumpkins and the door. -Arianna

Enjoy the weekend and happy trick or treating!

Here is a picture of our classroom door with our haunted houses & scary jack-o-lanterns and a picture of all of use with our decorated pumpkins!
