 Hello Families!

Yesterday got away from me and I did not have time to send out the blog.

Conferences: It is that time of year! Click HERE for the sign ups. You can pick your time and then I will send you a Google Meet link at a later date to confirm. All conferences will be virtual. We will review your student's academics.

Purple Folders: Please be emptying these each weekend. These are several flyers and work that you will want to see!

Front Office Announcements: Please pack extra masks for your student! Masks tear, get lost, get wet, etc. We are going through a lot of masks.

Friday October 8th: This day is a HALF DAY. That means students will need to be picked up at 11:30 am. We will have morning snack but lunch will not be served. 

October 14-18: Fall Break NO SCHOOL

Academics: 

Moral Focus: In October, we will be focused on Respect. Respect is treating things and others with care. Students will explore how they can show this at school, at home, and around our community.

Phonics: We will be looking at more digraphs (two letters that make one sound). We already know /sh/ and /th/. We will be looking at /wh/ /-ck/ /ch/ digraphs in the future. 

Comprehension: Now that we know narratives have setting and characters we are going to start identifying the problem of the story. Characters are either faced with a problem or create a problem themselves in the story. This is important for them to identify because the problem tends to drive the action in the story.

Math: We will be reviewing our numbers and addition and subtraction strategies and will be taking a unit assessment. There is no need to prep for this. After our assessment we will spend some time working on pairs of 10. 10 is a landmark number within math. It is important that students are really fluent with their addition and subtraction within 10 before moving on.

Social Studies: We are continuing to work on our Citizenship unit. Students have identified several leaders in and around our schools.
