End of 1st Quarter!
We are entering the final days of 1st Quarter. Tomorow, October 17th is the last day. It is the last day to meet each of the student's 1Q AR goal that they set at the beginning of the quarter. This Friday we will be having our first quarter goal party. If the student has met their goal then they will be attending it in the morning. If they did not then they will stay in the classroom and work.
We will be keeping our new spelling words for this week and next. With this Friday being a party day for our AR goals then there would be no time to post-test. We will have a Pre-test this Thursday, October 19th. Next Friday we will be out of school due to comp days for Parent Teacher Conferences our post-test will be Thursday, October 26th.
This weeks target goals:
Reading- We will be reading the story Shelia Rae the Brave. We will review our past vocab words; tumble, swirling, compassion, and content. This week's new words will be; fearless, fearful, familiar, and convince. We will also review short and long vowels. We will work on suffixes-less and -ful.
Writing- We will be working on sketching things around us that inspire stories. We will also work on fun things we do with our families. We will work on telling stories with details orally using appropriate leveled voice.
Social Studies- We will be looking at the 3 branches of government and what they do for us; their jobs; and how we fit into the branches.
Math-We are working on adding 3 numbers, counting back to solve with number lines, and then subtract all or nothing.

Fundraiser Pick Up This Week
On Tuesday of this week, we will have Cookie Dough fundraiser pick up from 3-6 pm in the gym. Things must be picked up during this time because there is no storage to house whats left as perishable items.
On Friday of last week, Parent-Teacher Conference slips went out to start to schedule times so we can meet to discuss your child's progress thus far this year. Please get those back as soon as possible with the best night and time for you. If your child has a sibling, we get with the other teacher, to try and get their conferences close to each other. However, we need the slip with times to do this.
I love to see so many readers in my class and so many kiddos trying to meet their AR Goal they set at the beginning of the year. If you happen to have books at home that you are not sure of their level then you may go to the following website and look it up; www.arbookfind.com
This week we will be working and learning the following targets;
Reading- comparing and contrasting between stories by the same author, looking at predicting what could change in a story if the setting were somewhere else, and reviewing long vowels with a final e.
Writing- continuing to work on personal narratives and making sure we have a beginning/middle/and end, making a list of topics we are interested in to write about in future days
Social Studies- who is Christopher Columbus, and continuing types of landforms
Math- Unit 1 Addition properties, doubles and near doubles, and making a ten

First Week of October!!!
I can't believe we have already been in school for 27 days. We have entered the month of October and it is busy!! This week we will be starting a few new things that I'm excited for to start.
We will be starting a new Reading and Writing series. In this series, there are a lot of vocabulary words with some strong description every week!
In Reading, we will be working through the books McDuff Moves In and There's an Ant in Anthony. In these stories, we will be discussing story elements such as character, settings, and plot. We will be working with 4 vocabulary words; tumble, swirl, compassionate, and content. We will also review short vowel words.
In Writing, we will be looking at our past writing experiences. We will be looking at getting ideas from things around us and our own drawings. We will be also working on sharing to others using eye contact and presentation voices. We will finish off the week discussing how authors get a lot of their ideas from real life.
In Social Studies, we will work on continents/oceans, moving into landforms, and our community from our world magnified into our neighborhood.
In Math, we will finish off our mini unit of time. The kiddos have worked really hard with being able to slowly tell time to 5 minutes. We will then go into our second unit pretest of addition and subtraction.
