Spotlight/ Fall Festival

Lucas is in the spotlight this week! He would like everyone to wear BLUE on Friday. 

Fall Festival Reminder:

Please make sure your child brings their costume in a bag with their name on it. They will put extra clothes in the bag after they change for the party.

FYI: I will be absent on Thursday and Friday of this week. Ms. Calcaterra will be here. If you have a change in dismissal or any other important information, please send it in writing vs. email for Ms. Calcaterra.  

Buddy Fun on Monday

Our Fourth grade buddies were so excited to share their Salt Maps with us!

Natalie's dad was a Mystery Reader on Tuesday. We loved the story! Thank you for reading to us! 

Reminders

We had another Mystery Reader today! Thank you to Caden's grandma! We loved both of the books! 

Next Wednesday will be an early release day and our second visit with our Flyer Family. Here is a sample of the shirts that the kiddos will get. Your child will get their shirt on Wednesday. Please be sure to have your child wear this shirt on every Early Release Day throughout the rest of the school year. 

Some questions to ask your child:

What is your Flyer Family name? 

Who is your Flyer Family Leader?

What kinds of activities do you do with your family? 

Caden S. is in our Spotlight this week! He would like everyone to wear yellow tomorrow! We really enjoyed having his mom as a Mystery Reader today!

Caden's mom was a Mystery Reader today. Thank you! We loved the book Room on the Broom.

We have been working hard over the past week during Writer's Workshop and using a teaching voice. They are creating 'How To' books and trying different craft moves to teach their readers. 

During reading the kiddos have been practicing reading strategies with a reading partner. They have been setting reading goals and trying to help their partner use the strategies to accomplish their goal. 

We finished Chapter 1 in Math on Friday and started Chapter 3 today. Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 are addition strategies. After we complete addition we will move on to subtraction strategies. 

During our Science and Social Studies time we have been working on the theme Where We Live/ Our Earth. Some key terms in this unit are: globe, 7 continents, 5 oceans, land forms, water sources, natural resources...

This is just a sample of what's hanging in the hallway for you when you come to conferences!

Please be sure to look in your child's backpack for this note.

Guess Who Has Been Showing Great Habits?? 

Well, your kiddos have been! The class earned 50 class points over the past few weeks. The all voted from the 'Class Points' menu and Device Day had the most votes. Our class will have Device Day on Friday, October 7th. 

Here are the details regarding Bring Your Own Device: 

Your child may bring in their smart device on Friday. If your child does not have a smart device, I have a device for them. Please remember that your child is responsible for the device they bring to school. Your child will be expected to keep it in their backpack when we are not using it. The classroom door will be locked when we leave the room for safe keeping. The students are looking forward to their first BYOD day!
