Apple Witch carving was a success and the kids had so much fun! Thanks to everyone who sent apples, tools, and volunteered their time. You all make our class so amazing!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
***In Class: I am in need of someone to come into class, at a time that is convenient for you, and help me put the Lexile levels on the books in my classroom library. This is not difficult, just takes some time. Anyone who is willing can come and spend as much or as little time as you’d like working on this.
***Next, 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

In lesson 5 we will continue to develop our understanding of multiplication. Along with using our multiplication strategies, we are going to be learning about the properties of multiplying by 0, 1, 2, 5 & 10.

LANGUAGE
 ARTS
The form below explains our Language Arts curriculum for the week.  It outlines what we will be talking about, the stories we will be reading, our vocabulary words, and our phonics patterns for the week.  We will be doing a weekly spelling test, however I will not be putting in a score for these spelling tests.  I will use the words off of the list outlined, but in class we will brainstorm new words to add to it.  You can review the words on this list, but it is not required.
Unit 1 Week 5

SEPTEMBER POEMS
I have a class of performers!! The ones that have passed off poems have done an amazing job!!  Please help your child work on memorizing these poems at home.  Each month students are required to memorize at least one poem.  Below is the months 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.  Friday is our last day to pass off September Poems!!

OPTIONAL – yet HIGHLY encouraged by Ms. Beckstead –  HOMEWORK
**Reading Homework – Students are required to read 20 minutes a night.   Making sure that your child does his/her reading daily is the single most helpful thing you can do to support educational success..  
**Math Homework – Reflex will start this week.  Students can access Reflex Math under the class links on the side of our class blog, or under the Student Links on the Quest website.  The Teacher Username is: Beck3 and the students password in their computer login password.  An example of student passwords is: lb123rams.  It is the students first and last initials, 3 digits and then rams.  If you have any questions on how your child logs in, feel free to contact me.
