I hope everyone enjoyed the extended weekend. It was fun to see so many friends at Grant's Farm night. What a fun event!
Updates for the week.....
This week we have P.E. on Tuesday and Friday and library on Wednesday.
The new homework and sight word packets will come home today. Please practice all previous sight words briefly each night.
This week we officially begin guided reading groups. Most students are ready to begin at a letter A. Students are working with either myself or Mrs. Burke. We will learn many reading strategies and we will also working on sight words and some writing skills. Please watch for reading strategy cards to start coming home soon. I am giving you a link to some youtube videos that will briefly explain each strategy. It will take a while for us to get through all the strategies but it would be AMAZING if you also talked about these strategies while reading with your child at home. They are simple, fun ways to help your child succeed as a reader.

In math we will begin Chapter 1 which will teach us about numbers 0-5. We will review number recognition and practice writing the number and counting items to the number. This will be a quick easy chapter for most students.
Today we will visit our third grade buddies to show off our first completed writing piece. Students worked very hard to complete this first piece and they are now ready to celebrated. Our next bend of writing will help learn to be great story tellers in our writing.
Today you will also receive a note about our next field trip. We will visit Stuckmeyer's Farm on Tuesday, October 21 from around 8:45 until 11:30. If you are able to attend with us please indicate so on the form. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please return the form with $10 as soon as possible.
Have a great week!!
