Coming home today is the letter about our Star of the Week. We will be starting this on Monday. I have put your child's name on the calendar as well as on the "Star of the Week" page on this website. If you click the link it will take you to the list of students with dates, as well as what your child can expect to do during their special week.
Book orders went home yesterday. Thank you to all who ordered last month! Thanks to your generosity, our class earned 15 books for our classroom library! Many of these have already been checked out and are being read! This month's flyer includes a bonus coupon, so if you order $10 worth of books, your child will get a $5 book pick free! Go here to access scholastic's website. Our class code is GWLMV. This month's due date is 10/21.
A quick peek at next week:
Math-We will be brushing up our computation skills while doing word problems.
Reading-We will continue reading "Escape from Alcatraz" during guided reading. Our focus this week is on text evidence. New Wordly Wise Words will be coming out.
Science: We will begin our study of the oceans. Study guides will be given out on Monday and glued into the students' notebooks.
Writing: We will finish up our unit on End Punctuation and Sentences with a quiz. Then, we will begin working with prewriting strategies.
