Hello families...I hope everyone has had a great week! We will be painting the class t-shirts tomorrow! I'm so excited for this, and I hope the students are excited about it too. Please send them to school either wearing something they can get paint on, or something they can put over their regular clothing (larger t-shirt or an apron for example). We will be using permanent fabric paint, and I don't want to get any of it on any clothing that is special. The t-shirts will stay in the classroom over the weekend to dry and everyone can take them home on Monday.
This week we have been working on a small moment writing for everyone's writing portfolio. We have also started, and will finish tomorrow, on a pumpkin craft using the three types of nouns- person, place, and thing. These along with the scarecrows the students finished last week will be displayed in the classroom. We have also been continuing to work on double digit addition with regrouping. Next week, admittedly, will be tougher. We'll be working on double digit subtraction with and without regrouping. We may use an extra week to cover this unit depending on how everyone does. I'm keeping my finger crossed all of the students will feel successful and confident in this tough unit! We covered a new Beanie Baby reading strategy- Foxy. This Beanie covers figuring out word families to read new words. Word families like words which begin with br, tr, th are all words which can be tricky for a lot of students. Working with Foxy is really helpful for everyone.
The students will be taking their next Galileo benchmark on the computers next Monday the 23rd. This is the same test they took earlier this month. The next time the students will take the test will be at the end of the second quarter, the week of Oct. 11th. The 23rd is also picture day! We will be taking both the class pictures and the single pictures. The students took home the flyer last week. Please turn this in or order online.
