REMINDERS:

 Please return the blue conference form that was sent home with your child last Friday. These forms are important for scheduling your conference at a time convenient for your family!

Go to this link to help out with our fall party on October 27th! Even if you can’t attend, sending food and providing activities is also helpful!


In Reading this week….
Your reader is working on figuring out the meaning of unfamiliar words using strategies such as reading on, using the pictures, context clues, etc. They have also been working in small groups to decode unknown words, make predictions, ask questions, and retell. Work with them at home on these strategies to improve their reading comprehension!

In Writing this week…
Your writer has been working hard on a personal narrative. Owl Moon is our mentor text. We have been discussing how Jane Yolen writes a good beginning, middle, and end of a small moment story and how we can apply that to our writing. We will be working with our long term writing partners to edit and revise our work next week!

In Math this week…

We assessed on Unit 2 and are moving into Unit 3. Your mathematician is working on using efficient strategies to solve problems. The strategies from Unit 2 include using combinations of ten and doubles facts, as well as identifying odd and even numbers.
