As another month comes to an end...

A few short reminders…

·      Keep in mind that Nov. 2^nd marks our shift to the winter uniform for students, i.e., no shorts.  Check out the handbook for a full uniform description.  As the weather cools, also please keep in mind that only uniform sweaters can be worn indoors.  Jackets may be worn to school for warmth but must be free of logos and messages. 

·      We will need toilet paper rolls next week for our Egypt party on Friday.  Just the rolls, no toilet paper :]

·      We will be celebrating Ancient Egypt next Friday afternoon! Be looking for ancient goodies coming home on Friday.

·      THANK YOU!!!! To all of our parent helpers that take their time in and out of the classroom. You are VERY MUCH appreciated by myself, Mrs. Smith, and our scholars!

·      Next Monday your child will bring home an Egypt study guide.  Please read over with your child, we are testing on Tuesday.

·      Next Friday for homework, your child will be completing a short comprehension assignment, instead of their reading log. I will be looking over for correct work and completion.

Next week…

Math

Students will continue to work on counting, comparing, adding, and subtracting within 20.  The students have been using various manipulatives to help them solve.  We are also counting up and counting back with our fingers to help with mental math skills.  The students will be assessed mid-week.  Then we are onto our 2D and 3D shapes! Please check the nightly math homework assignments carefully.

Literature

Students will continue to read from “Frog and Toad Are Friends” with chapter 3 an 4 next week.  We are having a fun time reading about the adventures of Frog and Toad.  It is extremely important that each child has their own book, we will be using post it notes next week to work on parts of speech and comprehension. 

Science

Onto….THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM!! We will be learning about the pathway of food as it passes through our body!

History

The students will review our Ancient Egypt studies on Monday, their review will be sent home to look over.  Assessment will take place on Tuesday.  Onto our religions unit! Starting world religions with Judaism.  If your family practices Judaism and would like to come in for a “show and tell” piece, please contact me! I would like to showcase some traditions, photos, and special tools used to practice.

Here are a few photos from the week!
