Thank you to all who have volunteered time to help get our classroom library leveled and organized. The new leveling system is almost complete and it will make it easier for students to choose books that are on their independent reading level as well as their instructional level.
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
In lesson 6 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 3, 4, &6.
Reading:
This week we start Unit 2 in Wonders! Our comprehension strategy is Making, Revising and Confirming Predictions. The expository stories we are reading this week are “Anansi Learns a Lesson,” “Roadrunner’s Dance” and “Deltona is Going Batty.” While reading, we are going to be using details in the text to determine the theme of the story.
Phonics:
Long i: i, ie, igh, y,
Long u: u, u_e, ew
Vocabulary:
cooperation – attempt – awkward – created – furiously – interfere – involved – timid
In class, we learn about these vocabulary words in connection to ourselves. If you notice your child using any of these words in context, this would be a great opportunity to celebrate their efforts!
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 Ms, Beckstead – 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!
- There is a link to Reflex on the right hand side of the blog. The username is: beck3 and students will use their own network password to log in.
