READING:We are continuing to read the story  "Henry and Mudge, Under the Yellow Moon". It is a story about a boy and his dog and their adventures.    We are working on vocabulary, comprehension, story structure, visualizing, and author's purpose. Ask your child what PIE stands for....We will be working with multiple word meanings. In grammar, we are working on statements and questions. 

WRITING:
We have been working on personal narratives in writing and adding details to all of our writing.  We continue to work on writing  creative stories. We continue to be creative in our SQUIGGLE stories each week. This is  where the students receive a squiggle mark, then have to draw something using the squiggle and then write about it! We are creating  some awesome writing in our journals and we are exciting to do so many writing projects!  We continue to work on writing Weekend Reports every Monday. We are focusing on writing a complete sentence with a capital letter, a complete thought, and an endmark. We are also learning to use graphic organizers to help with our prewrites. With every sentence we write, we try to think of one good detail sentence to add to our stories. 

SPELLING: 

There will be a spelling test this week ....words will ALWAYS be placed in the Red Folder for the week. The test will be on Wed., October 1st. On the weeks that we do not take a test, we are still working on spelling and the patterns that are created in words. There will be a pretest every other week on Wednesdays.

If your child is on a challenge list... make sure you check the Red Folder for the word list. Please keep one list at home on the fridge, and the other in the Red Folder for us to use at school. Thanks!

MATH:

We are working on Unit 2 this week. Addition and Subtraction skills will be worked on daily. Try to have your child log in to MOBY MAX to work on math facts. We are also continuing to review all concepts learned so far this year and problem solving. Continue to watch for HOMELINKS coming home in the Red Folder to work on and return. We are also using Fun4yourbrain website for practicing addition and subtraction. Please continue to work on money and identifying coins!

SCIENCE:

We are learning about weather and the different types of weather in the atmosphere. We will be learning about the different tools used to measure the weather. This is an ongoing process throughout the year. Watching the Weather Channel couldn't hurt either! :)
