Field Trip to Lanark...

.. is in the plans for October 24th.  Look for more information to come home regarding it soon. 

*  Your child brought home a page to contribute to our Community Book we are making.  It is due this Friday.  Remember that if you don't have time to go and take a picture, your child may draw one or cut one out of a magazine.

*  A sheet came home with your child Friday about our PTA.  If you haven't joined our PTA, please consider doing so.  I would love for our class to have 100% membership.  Your child may ask anyone to join.  In the past, I have even had family pets that were members.

* Your child has been bringing home several things regarding the Fall Festival, etc. in their take home folder so please make sure you are checking it.

*If somebody can send in a pumpkin for our class the week of October 17th please let me know. 

We LOVED showing off our Dirt Babies this past week.  Room 124 is certainly full of creativity!

Pay close attention to the spelling words this week.  The apostrophe has to be in the correct place for the word to be correct.  We will be practicing with noodles so we are familiar with where it goes.


 Story: Ronald Morgan Goes to Bat
Genre: Realistic Fiction
Phonics: Contractions
Comprehension Skill: Realism and Fantasy
Comprehension Strategy: Prior Knowledge
Grammar: Proper Nouns

We will have a Math test this Wednesday.  This chapter has been very easy for us, but please check your child's review sheet as they are working it to make sure there aren't any careless errors that are made. 


I have added a few new web sites to our Link list on the side of our blog.  Check them out with your child when you have a chance.

Also, if your child has access to an iPad have them check out the SpellBoard App.  This has become a favorite for learning spelling words with my child.

Remember that Monday, October 10th is a Holiday for students.

Email me with any questions or concerns.  Have a fantastic week!
