Can you believe it is already November? I am always amazed how quickly the school year goes. I hope everyone had an enjoyable Halloween. The students seemed to enjoy their evening of trick or treating.
Today the students worked on their October Calendar Challenge. At the end of each month, the students look at the month's calendar and answer questions based on dates and events. This is a great way to work on calendar skills and gain an understanding of how elapsed time on a calendar works. During stations the students started their new Literature Circle assignment, were tested on last week's sight words, and met with me for reading group. During math we looked at the concept of symmetry using pattern blocks and small mirrors.
FYI:
*There will math and reading homework this week. Please make sure your child fills out his/her reading log nightly.
*I am sending home a few book order forms. If you wish to order from them, please fill the form out and return it by next Monday. This will be the last order before the December break.
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Peace,
Tom
