Sept. 5th – 8th!

I hope everyone had a lovely, long Labor Day weekend!  It was such a nice little break!  We are now in our second week of the new reading/spelling program.  All of the students in our class will be working with the same spelling pattern which is so nice!!!  This week, we will be testing on the spelling pattern:  short e, o, and u.  I will post the spelling list  under the homework tab, so you can have it at home if you would like to review with your child. 
For math, we are moving on from rounding to the nearest ten.  We will start rounding to the nearest hundred.  This skill is very abstract and hard for the students to grasp right away.  I will be using lots of hands on and fun games to help them master the skill.  

Apple Witches:
We are starting to collect the pieces of our Apple Witches for Halloween.  Every student needs to bring a medium-sized apple to school by Monday, September 11th.  We are carving our apples on Thursday, September 14th from 2:00-3:00 in our classroom.  I would love as many volunteers that can come and help us on this day.  Also, we will  need:
1/8 teaspoons (at least 10), and apple peelers (at least 8).
If you have any of these items but cannot attend, please send them with your child, and I will make sure that they get back to you.  If your student will be absent this day we will create a witch for them to use when we dress our witches. 

Reading:
Please remember to read every night for at least 20 minutes.
