Happy Fall! I look forward to seeing you
all at the Walkathon tomorrow.
Upcoming
events:
- Language Arts: We are reading in our Houghton Mifflin book
Theme 1: Natures
Fury! Our first story was Earthquake
Terror and now we are starting Eye of the Storm. Please look for all
of our new vocabulary words. The masterpieces certainly look terrific and I
enjoyed reading their artist reports. We will be working hard in class to
create our own Halloween poetry books.
- Social Studies: We are also continuing to memorize our States and Capitals and learn more about Native Americans in Chapter 3 of our History Alive book. The students are in small groups to make an artifact from their assigned Native American region. Just a reminderof the History Alive website.
- Science: We will be starting our next topic in the WaterPlanet unit, the water cycle.
- Spelling: Our new spelling program is designed to create lifelong spellers. It promotes learning spelling rules and recognizing patterns in spelling. So though our weekly spelling words do not appear too The most difficult aspect of our new program is to recognize when to use the correct homophone such as they’re, their, or there. One way to help your child become a good lifelong speller is to review words found in dictation and old spelling tests. These words repeat and repeat throughout the year.
- Halloween Poetry is due the week of Oct. 29th
Your child is to
memorize poems to present to the class.
40 lines = A
30 lines = B
20 lines = C
Costumes
