Families,

We had SO much fun this week with our Walk-a-Thon celebrations! From walking with our friends to turning Mr. Matt and Mrs. McClure into ice cream sundaes…it was an unforgettable day! Thank you to everyone who helped their child raise money for our school. We were able to raise over $14,000 to put towards new technology in our classrooms! AND our class raised so much money we even won a cider and donut party! Here is a look at next week:

Important Dates/Reminders:

• Conference request forms are due Tuesday, October 17th
• The Hudsonville Turkey Trot is on Tuesday, October 24th
• Popcorn Friday is on Friday, October 27th
• Our Halloween party will be on Tuesday, October 31st. More information regarding party and parade details will be coming soon!
• Keep working on Xtra Math at home! Sounds like a lot of kiddos are having fun with this program and working hard on their math skills.

Reading: We will be reviewing the following reading strategies: Chunky Monkey, Stretchy the Snake, and Skippy the Frog.

Writing: We will be doing a “cold write” Monday and Tuesday to see what we have learned during our small moment story unit! We will also look at what makes a story “readable” vs. “unreadable.”

Math: We will be working through more subtraction strategies to help us become quick and accurate when solving equations.

Spelling: We will have our spelling test over the words we have learned and a sentence diction where students need to write down the sounds that they hear.

Have a fabulous weekend!
