Happy Halloween

Thank you to everyone who helped with our party today. Your kindness and generosity it always appreciated!
We have been busy and looking forward to November. This month we will have report cards, conferences, and Thanksgiving. I sent home conference slips informing you of your conference time. Please let me know if you haven’t received this, and I will send home another slip or I can also let you know on the phone or e-mail as well. Thanks!
Language Arts: The children are finishing the anthology “Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock”. I have also been modeling how to write a complete sentence. I have already seen improvements, way to go!
Math: We are finishing unit 3. The children are doing a tremendous amount of measuring (to the nearest ¼ of an inch or centimeter), figuring of perimeter and area, and more practice with money.


Social Studies: We are having so much fun discussing the upcoming presidential elections. Don’t forget to vote next Tuesday!
Computer Lab: The last two weeks we have had a great time exploring a few internet sites.
One is http://www.eduplace.com/tales/ This site is similar to Mad Libs. It’s very fun and helps them realize different parts of speech.
The other site is http://www.spellingcity.com/ This site has fun activities to help the children practice their spelling words.

Dates to remember:
November
12th-14th ½ day for students. Parent teacher conferences.
26th-28th Thanksgiving vacation, no school!
