COINS FOR KIDS:

Thanks for participating!  We did well, but didn’t win!! 

The PTO is selling raffle tickets for a Side-by-side to raise money for the Elementary.  Tickets are $20 each or 3/$50.  Let me know if you would like tickets or stop in the office!

Winter!  Well looks like it’s here!  Please remember to send children to school with their snow gear on as they put their backpack in their locker and head outside for first recess.  It’s a good idea to have 2 pair of gloves/mittens from now on!

PLEASE remember shoes!!!!!!!

I have asked the children to practice getting in and out of their snow gear as fast as they can!  The order to get ready is –snow pants, boots, coat, hat and mittens last so they can zip!  The first day we had snow they did well!!  Keep it up!!!!

BOOK-IT:  Send in October Book-it calendars

READING:

Our big book this week is all about Bugs!

Letter: Review:  Aa, Mm, Pp, Ss, Tt

Now that we have learned some consonants and a vowel the children should be able to sound out simple CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words---

Pam, Sam, Tam, map, sap, tap, lap, pat, etc.

Beanie Baby reading strategy:  

Pop, the Weasel:  sight words should POP out as we read them!

Iggy the Inferring Iguana—tells us to make predictions and inferences as we read stories, adjusting and validating as we read.

WRITING:

We will begin our November journals.

We will start a new writing adventure—list, observe and label.  We hope to get a walk to the butterfly garden with out snow to see what it looks like in the fall!  We will write an informational class book on fall.

MATH:

We will investigate longer and shorter. 

We are practicing positional words using an obstacle course in gym class.  We are practicing writing numbers 0-10 as well as counting to 30.

SCIENCE & SOCIAL STUDIES:

This week we will finish up on motion.
