Families,

Welcome to October (almost)! This will be an exciting month for us with the Walk-a-Thon, our Halloween party, and our baggie books under way! We had a fun week wrapping up September by getting our lockers AND having Spirit Week! I LOVED all of the green and white on Wednesday ;). Here’s what we’re up to:

Reminders/Dates:

• A reminder that homework is due on Thursdays and baggie books can be switched out on Tuesdays and Thursdays (please send the book in the bag).
• We will be having “Plaiderday” on Friday, October 6th. Have your child wear anything plaid!
• Keep raising money four our Walk-a-Thon! Mrs. McClure sent a message out with all of the fun incentives if we reach our goals! Our Walk-a-Thon will be on Thursday, October 12th.
• I have changed our deadline with Scholastic Book Orders. I will now be giving you 2 weeks to submit your orders online! Our October orders will be due by 4p.m. on Monday, October 16th.
• Our Halloween party will be on Tuesday, October 31st. Time and details are TBD and coming soon! Stay tuned!

Reading: We will review what the author’s message is and learn how to preview our books, make predictions, and retell the story using the illustrations.

Writing: We will learn how to add details by using descriptive words (and our 5 senses) and how to add a good beginning to our story.

Math: We will continue learning about addition strategies–specifically the “counting on” strategy.

Spelling: Our words are: in, is, look, you.

Have a great weekend!
