Important Dates:

November 19th - Annual Thanksgiving Day Lunch

We will be decorating our classroom and create a thankful tree!

All parents are invited to join us for lunch. Parent lunches are $3.25.

I encourage all students to dress up for our lunch; 

polo or button-down and slacks/khaki pants.

December 18th - Holiday Party at 1:00

I am looking for a few parent volunteers to help during our holiday party. 

Please let me know if you are interested. 

This week we started our first narrative. Some students are writing about pumpkin carving and some are writing stories about super heroes. Students are going through the writing process and will soon be revising and editing their rough drafts. Looking forward to seeing the final product!

We focused on multiplication word problems 

this week and followed these word problem steps:

1. Change the question into a statement

2. Draw a unit box and representation 

3. Write a number sentence

4. Fill in the sentence with the answer

Students got to write their own word problems and then classmates got to solve them! Everyone did a great job with these and I'm excited about the progress that students made this week. Next week we will learn to skip count x3. We will sing the multiples of 3 to "Row, Row, Row Your Boat!"

Encourage your child to sing it to you a couple times per night. Repetition is the key!
