Reading

This week read Max’s Words.  We worked on sequence of events, adding -er and -or to words, words with VCV pattern, and verbs.  Check with your child how they are doing with their reading counts points.

Writing

We sent of letters to our pen pals in Brandon.  We worked on our Grandparents’ program. We will be working on writing a letter to you for conferences, and then we will be working on a secret project next.

Social Science

We are still working on Chapter 2.  Please send a baby picture of your child and a family picture if you have one, on Monday.  Something without names on them. We are going to try and guess who’s baby picture goes with which child and talk about what traits you have passed on to your child.   

Math

We are working on chapter 2, graphing.  We are also learning to count by whatever the scale is on the graphs.  (Preparing for the multiplication chapter that is coming up next). Your child should have brought home multiplication cards for 2 and 4.  Please practice them. After we start the next chapter we will be having multiplication tests twice weekly. Miscellaneous

The kids earned a read and feed last week but I told them we had to wait until next week because we were busy with the program.  Your child may bring a sleeping bag, blanket, or pillow if they wish. They may also bring a drink and snack of their choice to eat while they are reading.  October 26 is an 11:40 early dismissal. The Harvest Festival is Oct. 31 at 2:10. Please let me know if you are on that committee and haven’t heard from the hostesses.
