VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
***If you’d like to earn volunteer hours but do not have the opportunity to be at the school, hours can be accumulated by making a donation to your child’s classroom or to the school. 1 hour is credited to you for each $5 donation/purchase. If you would like to help out our class, I am currently working to stock our class store. If you would like to purchase items to put into our store, I would be very appreciative. Please bring me a receipt and I will log and credit your volunteer hours.

Math
We will be reviewing, reteaching and reassessing standards that have not been met with mastery yet.
Reading:
Since we have a short week, we will be reviewing the comprehension skills and strategies that we have covered so far this year.
OCTOBER POEMS
Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem. Below are the month’s poems. We only read through these in class once, so they need to be practiced at home. Students can pass off poems on Fridays whenever they are ready to recite them.
OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Mrs. Alexander – REVIEW
- Read at least 20 minutes per day. Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success.
- REFLEX- at least 3 green lights per week!
- Reflex helps, tremendously, with student fluency in math facts and will benefit your child as the year progresses. We are so lucky to have this program to use!
- There is a link to Reflex on the right hand side of the blog. The username is: alexander3 and students will use their own network password to log in.
Work hard. Be kind.
