October 28 - November 8

Happy Halloween! This is always a fun holiday for the kids. It was nice to see so many costumes and the students enjoying themselves so much.  

This week in Math class we continued learning about counting coins. It was neat to see all the coins that the students brought in from around the world. Next week we will conclude this topic and start Chapter 6, Mental Addition. 

In English we learned concepts and practiced using Nouns. Next week we will continue this and also publish our personal narratives. 

In Science we reviewed Chapter 2, Animals are Living Things. Next week we will start our animal research project. This project will conclude with a class presentation about the animals the students researched. 

Next week in Reading class we will continue with our study in the Reading Practice Book. There will be no class story next week as we will need to spend some extra time completing our research project. 

Congratulations to Katrina So for being this week's Student of the Week. Katrina was a good leader when we practice our Halloween song and she asked such good questions in class. Keep it up! 



Next week is the parent/teacher conferences. I look forward to speaking with you. Please return the Pre-Conference form to me on Monday. Each time slot is 15 minutes with each student's parent/s. These are sometimes scheduled back to back. If we need more than 15 minutes to discuss things we can schedule another time to meet.

Dates to remember
Monday - Spelling Quiz (Cost, Club, Equal, Grade, Least, Broke, Check, Copy, Group, Agree. Bonus words: Hawk, Quality, Moss, Swamp, Hollow) 
Tuesday - Comprehension Quiz
Tuesday - Parent/Teacher conferences
Wednesday - Parent/Teacher conferences
