October 22-26

Parents,


It is Halloween Fest in writing this week. We will be writing all sorts of spooky stories as well as thinking and writing about candy and Halloween night!

Reading: We are beginning our Trick or Treat Book Reports. Students will be writing about different parts of their chosen book including the problem, solution, climax and their favorite part. Please send the book to school with your child on Monday. It will be staying at school for the week and needs to be labeled with your child's name.

In math, we are beginning our study of money. We will be using our addition and subtraction strategies and applying them to counting coins. Help your child at home! Let them count out your change or ask them to show different addition or subtraction sentences in coins.

Science: At the beginning of the week, we will be finishing up our study of energy. We will be looking at different materials and noticing how light shines through some but doesn't shine through others. Later in the week, we will be looking at how things move and if they roll, slide, or spin.

Reminders:

Next week is Red Ribbon Week! We will be talking about the importance of staying drug free with lots of fun activities.

Monday: Sock it to Drugs: wear crazy socks
Tuesday: Drugs and I Do Not Mix: wear mismatched clothes
Wednesday: Say No to Drugs: wear red
Thursday: Boot out Drugs: wear boots or western clothing
Friday: Say Boo to Drugs: wear a Halloween shirt

Wednesday, October 24: Early Release Day. School will let out at 12:45.

Thursday, October 25: Science Night. Come hang out at Caraway for a night of Science!

Pumpkin book characters are due next Monday, the 29th. These pumpkins can be any size!
