Oct. 29-Nov. 2

Hello Families,
Another month is almost gone!  These students are so amazing.  Their growth in academics is incredible.  As I start to assess them for our conferences and report cards, they are blowing me away. 

This week, we have Halloween on Wednesday.  We will have centers and party starting at 9:30.  If you are helping, please come around 9 to help set up centers and food.  Thank you for the support for the party and thanks to our room mom, Alice for getting the Halloween party planned!  Students can not wear scary costumes with blood or weapons.  Please keep those for Trick or Treating at home. Halloween parade is at 8:30 am.

Conferences are next week Nov. 5-9.  We have our regular schedule.  However, we do not have centers that week. 

This week, we will be starting our Butterfly theme.  We will be discussing the life cycle of a butterfly and create art projects that will help remember the stages.  Student will measure with non-standard measurement. 

Reading: The class has starting reading books with short vowels please practice at home. In RTI, we will be reading the book The Lion and the Mouse.  Students will be asked to talk about characters and setting and cause and effect.
