Reading

We will be continuing practicing Daily 5. Book bags should be coming home about every night.  Your child should have the book title written in the appropriate space on his/her reading calendar. Please initial this and send it back to school with your child.  We will be starting reading groups on Monday!

Fall Party

Fall is filled with many different traditions and holidays.  Friday, October 31^st is Halloween.  We are planning some learning centers in the morning and a very short party in the afternoon.  Students may bring in a “trick or treating” snack for the class, if they would like to.  Students do not have to bring something.  Students may bring their costume and change into it, but only during the party.  The costumes should be non-violent and safe to wear.  We will a play some fun Fall activities during our party as well.

If you would not like your child to participate in this party, please let me know!
