10/30-11/3

Thank you all for coming to conferences! I really enjoyed getting to meet you all! Last week we ended the week with 4H. We had some great presentations by a few of our students and got to do some cool experiments with matter. This week is of course Halloween. Per county policy we are allowed 1 party per school year, so we will not be having a party for Halloween. However, if you would like to send in a treat to share the kids and I can take a few minutes of our recess to enjoy those treats together. We will also have our school reading night! Come Snuggle up witty a good book in your PJs and have some fun playing reading games, listening to some fall books, and participating in a fun reader’s theatre with Mr. Shalin! Students will get a homework pass for coming and a chance to build great memories at school. Rock Eagle flyers came home last week. The cost of the trip is $153.00. Please make sure you are participating in our Butterbraids Fundariser. Selling Butterbraids will make our cost per student even lower!! Friday the kids and I are going to do some reading about cowboys and cattle trails, so if they would like to dress up in their western wear- that will add to it even more! We will also be making chili together as a class. If you would like to donate a can of something to go in our chili or a fun topping, we would be very grateful! 

In Math we are working on adding and subtracting fractions. For extra practice the students can get on IXL.

In Writing we are working on informational writing. 

In Social Studies cowboys and cattle trails.

In Science we have a constructive and destructive test on Wednesday. They got their study guides last week, so they have had plenty of time to get some studying done.

In Reading we are continuing to work on our comprehension skills within passages and strategies to answer questions with text evidence. 

Until next time!
