Weekly Update: ELA Unit 2.1

There will be NO SCHOOL for students on Monday (Oct. 30th). Our school parade will be held on Tuesday morning at 8:45. Parents may sit in the auditorium to watch as the students walk by in their costumes. Just a reminder - masks and toy weapons are not allowed. Please keep those accessories at home. (Face paint is ok .) Make sure your child has an extra set of clothes to change into or worn underneath their costume. They will most likely not be comfortable wearing their costume all day (especially during lunch and recess) and they should be able to change in and out of their costume with minimal assistance. Our class party will be held at the end of the day. For those parents who have signed up to volunteer, make sure you have already completed the volunteer background check before you arrive to help!

We will be starting a new unit in Reading. The big idea for this unit is 'Communities' and our spelling patterns will move beyond CVC words with short vowel patterns. This week, our spelling pattern will be the digraphs 'sh' and 'th' and despite the short week, we will still be having the spelling test on Friday.

Weekly Update: ELA Unit 1.6

Picture retakes will be on Monday for anyone who needs it.  Monday is also the deadline to turn in your child's emergency snack!  We still have a few students who have not brought one.  Please send a non-perishable snack and small drink in a ziploc bag marked with their name.  We will keep these in our classroom in case of an emergency.  We are having a lockdown drill on Wednesday afternoon.  We will talk with the students ahead of time so they will be prepared and know what to expect. Our spelling test will be postponed until next Friday. Your child will have an extra week to study the spelling words from their spelling pretest list.

Remember there is no school on Thursday or Friday - we hope you have a wonderful fall break!  Looking ahead to next week, don't forget that Family Arts & Literacy Night is on October 25 from 6:30-8:00.  This is one of our biggest school events and it is always a lot of fun!  We hope to see you there!
