Stuckmeyer Farm

Monday Message

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I am looking forward to seeing everyone at parent/teacher conferences tonight and Wednesday evening.

Math: We are starting a new math book this week. We will be focusing on story problems. Every day, we will read the story problem together, show the problem on a graph, draw it, and write it out. We will also find our answer on a number line.

Guided Reading: I started pulling groups for guided reading last Monday. The LTA and I will be meeting with groups Monday thru Friday. We will talk more about these groups and reading strategies at conferences.

Sight Words: me, it, you (test Thursday)

I sent home the sight word packet for November on Friday. We will start those words next Monday. Please let me know if you did not get it. I also sent home the November homework. Please start it this week. We are starting it now, to make up for the week will be out for Thanksgiving break.

Chaperones for Stuckmeyers

Dear Volunteers for Stuckmeyer's,

Unfortunately the parking lot at Sappington will be very crowded on Friday. We have visitors coming to our school, picture retakes and 5th grade is also going on a field trip to Cahokia Mounds.  If at all possible, we would like to ask our volunteers to meet us at Stuckmeyer's Farm in Fenton. Since we plan on leaving Sappington at 8:45 a.m, we should be arriving at Stuckmeyer's Farm around 9:00 a.m.  We appreciate your understanding.  If you have to ride the bus with us to Stuckmeyer's, please let us know that you will be meeting us at our classroom so we do not leave without you.

Thanks again for your understanding,   

Mrs. Stout

Friday Fun

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Sight words for this week: she, go, this

Math: We will start a new math book this week: My Pumpkin Seed, A Counting Story. Students will fill in the numbers 1-10 on a graph to show a certain number of pumpkin seeds for each day. Look for this book to come home Friday.

Writing: In writing this week, we are going to talk about shifting from being writers to readers. To do this, I will show students that when reading their stories, they will use the pictures they drew to help guess what the words will say.

Important dates to remember:

10/25 Friday: Stuckmeyers in the morning and picture retakes in the afternoon.

Time with our third grade buddies

Today we shared the finished writing we've been working on with our buddies. We also did a pumpkin glyph and our buddies taught us a Halloween joke! Have your child share their joke with you at home.
