October 16-20

"October was always the least dependable of months ... full of ghosts and shadows."  :) ~Joy Fields 

We began our week with a Word Sort activity related to our spelling pattern and anchor text. We also worked with our Leveled Readers and watched a Grammar Snap video on compound sentences. Students loved activating their brains and bodies with a visit from Ms. Karen, our physical therapist. 

We were grateful to have a special guest in our class today. Her name is Annabelle and she's a student at the SST. She's in the Careers in Education program and hopes to be a teacher one day. The kids enjoyed working with her.

The spelling pretest will be given tomorrow. Students will have four spelling assignments due before the test date. The test will be given on Tuesday, October 24th. Our new rule involves the Long O pattern.

Our Learning Objective in math today relates to solving two-step number stories and is a continuation from last week's lesson. Students will also solve problems involving multiples of equal groups and make sense of multiplying by 0 and 1. We will solve array problems and play Array Bingo. Students will have a Home Link each night for homework. 

We are very excited for our Walking Field Trip to downtown Exeter on Wednesday morning. Thank you to parents who offered to volunteer. Please sign and return your child's permission form as soon as possible, if you haven't done so yet. This experience will be a wonderful addition to our PBL unit. 

Have a fabulous week! :)
