Remember Next Wednesday is a short day with Thursday and Friday off for Fall Break

Fall is definitely in the air.  I love the rich colors, and the yummy pumpkin spice everything that can be found in food as well as smells.  I don’t really love the cooler weather, but it’s better than the dead of winter cold.  It’s also a signal to me that our class is into great routines and leaning is well underway.  The students, in our class, have written their first essay all by themselves.  We will finish them up this week, and we’ve completed 2 1/2 units in math.  We’ll finish up subtraction with regrouping this week, and start Quadrilaterals.  

In reading, we’re going to be exploring making predictions, and how that helps our comprehension.   We will also be talking about ancestors .  This is a great time to talk about your family ancestors and where they originate from. 

Homework
READING   Remember to read 20 minutes a night.  This week, we are going to do book talks.  This means you are going to bring your book, and tell us a little bit about it. When you’re ready, you click on the plus sign at the bottom of the box,  tell us who you are, what the name of your book is, and who wrote it. (I’ve left a sample of what your post should look like).  Your book does not have to be a chapter book, just  a book you think the rest of us should read.



Math  
We are currently working on subtraction with ungrouping.  All students should be showing a mastery of Addition and Subtraction, with ungrouping being completed this week.  Please remember that the students should complete 50 problems a week in Prodigy.  If they do not have time to get this completed at home, I will have them complete it at school.

Thanks in advance for the support you give us and the children in our class.  Have a great week!
