I saw many of you at the Halloween Carnival. I hope you had a good time with your family. The weather was wonderful.
I also enjoyed meeting with you at conferences. Continue to talk to your children about effort, doing their best and reviewing their work. I also encourage you to have your child read aloud to you every night. Easy books are good as they help with reading fluency. When a book is too difficult, a child has difficulty with the comprehension.
Wednesday is Halloween. Your child is allowed to wear their costume to school. There will be a Halloween Costume Parade that morning.
There will be an all-school Mass on Thursday, November 1, in honor of All Saints. You are all welcome. Beginning November 1, shorts are not allowed to be worn.
Dismissal on Friday is at 12:30. On Friday your child is allowed to wear their favorite team shirt.
Curriculum remains the same. We have started Level 3 in Reading and we continue to review contractions, compound words, endings of ing, ed and s, plurals, possession, cause and effect, sequencing, classification, short vowels a, i, o, vocabulary and comprehension. In Science we are learning about animals in the ecosystem. In Social Studies we will be learning about Native American Indians and the pilgrims. In Religion we are learning about God's love for us and the saints. In P.E. we are working with jump ropes. In Math we continue to review addition and subtraction facts.
We will be starting timed subtraction math facts in another week.
Thank you to all of you that donated books to the classroom from the Book Fair. It was greatly appreciated.
We will be performing in the Thanksgiving Program on Wednesday, November 7. I am hoping to have all the white t-shirts in by Monday as they are needed for the Thanksgiving Program. Thank you.
