Apple Witch Dress/Robe Patterns
Patterns will go home on Monday for the Apple Witch dresses/robes, hats and hands. Use this pattern to cut out a front and a back for the dress/robe. This can be done using any type of fabric for the dress, and felt for the hands and hat. New fabric does NOT have to be purchased. In the past students have used shirts that have been outgrown, pillow cases, and leftover scraps.**If you cannot hand sew or have access to a sewing machine, please send in the cut out material with your child and I will get one of our parent volunteers to sew it for you. ** If you need someone to sew the dress for you, please send in the cutout material by Tuesday, October 15th! Sewn dresses, gloves, and completed hats need to be in by Tuesday, October 22nd!

Math
In lesson 7 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 7, 8, & 9.
Reading:
In Unit 2 Week 2, our comprehension strategy is Making, Revising and Confirming Predictions. The historical fiction stories we are reading this week are “Sailing to America,” and “The Castle on Hester Street”. The expository test we will also be reading is “Next Stop, America”. While reading, we are going to be using details in the text to determine the theme of the story.
Phonics:
Long e: e, ea, ee, e_e, ie, ey, & y
Vocabulary:
arrived – immigrated – inspected – moment – opportunity – photographs – valuable – whispered
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.
