Week 10



Here and there:
·       What a wonderful week back! I could tell everyone had a restful week of and came back ready to learn. 
·       Progress reports will be sent home on Tuesday.
·       Term 2 poem choice packets will be sent home on Monday. I look forward to another round of poetry on November 8th!
·       Just a reminder that Friday is our Franklin Fall party!
·       For the month of October I would like us to specifically focus on PROBLEM SOLVING which means that I am looking for students to independently find answers to difficult problems and situations.  I am looking for examples of problem solving as we work, talk, and play at school. 
A look at next week…
Spalding
We will be adding to our books. We are writing with more words with patterns, rules, and jobs. We take our time discussing how and why we write our words in class. Please take the time to review the nightly words and put them on the back of the green paper. By the end of the week I want every child to be best prepared to test!
Reading
What fun we have had while reading folktales from around the world. Issun Boshi seemed to be a class favorite.  We will continue with our last fable on Monday before moving on to our bat studies. As we read about bats we will be in search of factual information. Our close reading strategies will come into play as we mark up our text. 
Math
Next week we will dig into various number forms as the students write three digit numbers in expanded, word, and number form. We will be using manipulatives, whiteboards, and other tools to help make connections.
Science
I have had great feedback about the moon journals, thank you for embracing the opportunity to stop and observe our beautiful nightly masterpiece. I look forward to seeing the journals for one more week!
History
The students made real connections as we talked about our own explorations. We are ready to start our Native American unit as we study cultural beliefs and traditions. Next week we will learn about the regional tribes of the U.S. before learning about the Pueblo people.

Thank you for your continued support!
Ms. Reger
