Week 13

Here and there:

·       What a busy week! From our studies to showing enthusiasm and respect we are learning and growing.  I enjoy all our days at school and hope your child does as well.

·       Next week, no school on Monday. Please take the time to thank or think of a Veteran as there are many sacrifices they make to keep us safe and free.

·       For the month of November we will be working on showing enthusiasm! It is one of my very favorite, if we show interest and excitement in everything we do life becomes a little more sweet. I am looking for students to share connections, ask questions, and always take any situation as an opportunity to learn something new!  I have already seen quite a few students take on this Core Value with such excitement. This month is going to be great!

·       Please be sure your child is on time and ready to learn.

·       I appreciate the notes and messages ahead of time when there is a change in transportation. It makes a big difference!

·       WOW! Our class donated 95 canned food items. Thank you for your generosity as we help those who are less fortunate.

·       Report cards will go home on Wednesday.

A look at next week…

Spalding

Next week will be a review week. Do not expect books to come home but instead review papers. This is a great time for us to reinforce those tricky rules and patterns.

Reading

Cinderella stories from around the world will continue. The students have enjoyed recognizing magic elements, royal figures, problems, and the happily ever after endings. Next week we will be reading the African and Egyptian versions.

Math

Now that we have a solid start with adding 2 digit numbers we will be adding with regrouping. The week will start with manipulatives but will transition to more efficient strategies.

Science

Next week we will be doubling up on our Native Americans unit.

History

The students made real connections as we talked about our own explorations. We will continue with our Native American unit as we study cultural beliefs and traditions. This week is all about the Pueblo people.

Enjoy the long weekend with friends and family,

Ms. Reger
