October 8 - 12

I sure am enjoying these cooler temperatures that have finally arrived.  As the air is getting cooler, remember to send your child with a light jacket to wear at recess. 

We had our Solar Cookout yesterday!  The baked apples were a big hit!  Although it didn't get warm enough outside for the cheese to melt on top of the nachos, the kiddos had a great time preparing them. They sure learned a lot about the process of creating and using a solar cooker as well.  Thank you so much to all of you who either donated items for this project, to those who were able to join us on Friday to help assemble the cookers and to those who joined us Monday to help the kids with the nachos.  I really could not have done that without all of your help!!!!!

Here is a look at this week:
Reading
We will be completing Theme 3 on Friday with a vocabulary quiz.  The students have been practicing how to infer the meaning of text when they are reading.

Spelling
The pattern this week is consonant digraphs.  The digraphs that will appear in the spelling words are: sh, ch, th, and wh.  The test will be on Friday.

Writing
The students will continue writing their personal narrative about losing a tooth.  Be sure to ask them about the story we read together, Trevor's Wiggly-Wobbly Tooth.

Math
The students will be using subtraction in a variety of ways.  They will learn how to use it in an expanded algorithm, model subtraction, subtract using 3 digit numbers, subtract across zeros, and how to draw a picture to help them solve problems.

Science
We will begin studying weather later this week.

Social Studies
We will complete our 3-dimensional communities.
