Updates

Can you believe that it is already going to be October tomorrow? This year is flying by!  I hope everyone made it to Grant's Farm night and had a wonderful evening.  This week we have Blues/Cardinals day on Thursday.  Your child can choose to wear Cardinals, Blues, or a combination of the two to show their spirit on Thursday.  We also have school store on Thursday.  I am sending home progress reports tonight.  Please sign them and return them with your child tomorrow.  

In math we are reviewing all of unit 1 today, and taking our first unit test on Tuesday.  It will cover everything we have learned so far this year.  It will have questions about the three ways to write numbers, rounding, adding, subtracting, expressions, equations, and input/output boxes.  The study guide will come home tonight.  Then we will begin unit 3, which covers multiplying and dividing.  

In English language arts we are learning how to make predictions based on the information the author gives us in the story.  We will be using this to help us work on our beyond the text thinking skills and making inferences about the text.  In writing we are continuing to learn how writers come up with ideas for realistic fiction stories.  We will also be learning how to create believable characters in our stories and how to give them motivations and struggles.  We will be taking our second spelling test this Friday afternoon.  Tic tac toes are also due on Friday.  

As always let me know any questions or concerns you have!  I hope you all have a wonderful week!
