OCTOBER 26-OCTOBER 30

Greetings!

Thank you to all of you that helped drive to the Pumpkin Patch and to those of you who provided the snacks. It was a great afternoon and the children had fun. We are into Drug-Free week. You will notice that the doors of all the classrooms have been decorated in that theme.

On Friday the students are allowed to wear their costume to school. A notice went home about the costume contest. There is also a pumpkin carving contest and a note went home about that. So we do have a busy week. On Saturday evening is the Halloween Carnival at school. I hope to see all of you there.

In Language Arts we continue to review sequencing, cause and effect, categories, s, ed and ing endings, plurals, possessives, contractions, compound words, comprehension, short a and i and I am introducing short o this week. I have been testing your children on vocabulary. Hopefully I will be finished this week. In math we are finishing up subtraction. In Science we are finishing up the ecosystem and in social studies we are beginning our Native American unit. In Religion we are starting our saint book and in P.E. we are jump roping. As you can see we are busy.

I am hoping you all had your children become familiar with First In Math as they will begin doing that in their computer lab.

VOCABULARY WORDS

A reminder: please remember to sign planners and if your child brings home a reader it needs to be returned the following day. Thank you.

I am hoping you all had a great weekend. I did. I went to a wedding and then helped celebrate my aunt's 90th birthday. She still lives alone and is in good health. If you have read this blog have your child write on a piece of paper what a pumpkin becomes when you carve it out. Another THANK YOU to all of you that read my blog. Have a great week. GOD LOVES YOU!
