October...Brrr!!!

Why hello cold weather!

The book fair is this week. Our class will be going Friday, October 7.
$6.50 is still needed from some of you for the Scholastic Science Magazines.

Later this month, our students will be taking the first quarter EOQ. The dates are October 24-26.
To get our students prepared, please continue to read each night with them and ask focus questions during reading such as:
Who are the characters?
What is the setting?
What are the main events?
What is the problem/solution (if any)?
What is the main idea?
What is author’s purpose?

For math, it is crucial that our students check their work and are adding and subtracting correctly. Also remind them to use the calculator that will be provided to them on the Calculator Active day. We have worked on rounding, addition properties, place value and modeling numbers (base 10 blocks). We should also know standard form: 45, expanded form: 40+5 and word form: forty-five.

During that week, make sure our students get a full nights rest and have a great breakfast!

Important dates/reminders:
Morning Tutoring starts Monday, October 24 for Reading and Math on Wednesdays.

No school for students October 28 and October 31.

Thank you for your continued support.
