Happy Friday and welcome October!
The students are really getting into the swing of routines and we are able to do various jobs in reading and math smoothly!
In reading, we are working on summarizing by using the "Somebody, wanted, but, so, then" strategy. We are also describing characters by looking closely at traits rather than physical appearances.
In math we are almost done with unit 1, we will assess next week. We have been working on counting money, telling time, and reading graphs - this a review from 2nd grade. If you can do any extra practice at home, that would be great!
In science, we are also almost done with our "critters" unit. We were able to observe the life cycle of many different insects and some plants. We will talk next week about animal population and predator vs. prey.
I am sending home many papers today. On the lunch menu, they now write what day it is in our 6-day cycle so I will not send home a separate calendar for that. Here are a few reminders/notes about next week:
Monday - No school for teacher inservice.
Tuesday - We start the Global Read Aloud - we are reading The BFG. Stay tuned for more information.
Thursday - Stomp Our Bullying Day - wear blue.
We also start our fundraiser called Cherrydale, the return date is Oct. 20.
Friday - Fall Fitness Day - we will be extra active that day to celebrate healthy lifestyles.
Have a wonderful fall weekend! Thanks for all you do!
Mrs. Midthus
